The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
– Salvador Dali

A memory about an event or a person is never entirely accurate; it’s either amplified by nostalgia, or muted in tones and hues. The tighter we grasp a memory, the quicker it seems to slip away, like sand through the fingers. This fleeting moment I call the disappearing act.

This series of photographs attempts to capture how memories look in our minds before fading. How do we shape them? What part is false, and what is true? If a memory is already in our minds, is it fair to call it false? Where is the boundary between the imaginary and the real? Isn’t something already real because it’s real for us? If so, can we actually rewrite the past?

The photos don’t provide direct answers. Instead, they offer metaphors, visuals, and quote clues, inviting viewers to reflect on these themes and find their own answers.

Seeing is believing. – N/A

Or believing is seeing? – N/A

Hello from my planet! I love nature, freedom, dancing, traveling, music, reading, chilling, cats and the woods. What makes me happy is healthy food, a good night out, long walks in the forest and getting lost in the sound of nature.
