What makes certain ideas remain with us while others disappear?

Why do we remember a particular flower, a landscape, a room or a passing encounter, yet forget countless others?

What is it that allows some fragments of experience to retain a place in the mind long after their original circumstances have vanished?

Are the images we carry with us simply memories, or do they reveal something about who we are?

Do we choose the images that shape us, or do they choose us?

Through painting and photography, I return to images and ideas that have persisted over time, not because they seemed important when first encountered, but because they continued to reappear. By revisiting and transforming these fragments, I explore memory not as a record of the past, but as a process of selection.

What can the images that remain tell us about ourselves?
