Reflection

My interest lies in the state of existence, of being, which is why I am highly interested in the way humans behave— how each individual is vastly different but at the end of the day similarities are drawn from observing the way we behave.

Existence also largely deals with death— they go hand in hand. I always question death, which in turn, questions existence.

My exploration started with ephemera and forgetfulness. Forgetfulness is pegged to memory (a cliche?) and I think if i were to tie memory and ephemera together, it would mean dealing with memory archiving/ the obsession to record/ mark-making. So right now I am doing readings on archival obsession, lifelogging and memory. And looking at artists who deal with these themes (Arnold Dreyblatt, Christian Boltanski)
