Collective memory shapes who we are, revealing itself through the events we choose to remember and the ones that quietly fade, each recollection becoming part of our identity. For the artist working with diary‑journals, this memory is not passive; it is curated through consciousness, intention, and attentive looking. Found pieces of paper, their condition, whether crisp or soaked from the street, is secondary to the simple act of picking them up and imagining the untold stories they carry. Once gathered, these fragments join the diaries, becoming material for reflection and reinterpretation. The creative process is not only about preserving their appearance, but also about acknowledging their erasure.
