I perceive memory as a subjective feeling rather than an objective statement. Fragments of personal records; exploring landscape, close relationships, and corporeality, are united by an emphasis on the very process of observing their mutual shaping, recording, and reinterpreting. In this context, I see the landscape as an extended body that has its own specific type of memory as another recording medium.

The crystallized trees in the installation are seamlessly connected to the project (in)visible processes. It refer to the natural processes of the landscape that make up its memory, and which are also a metaphor for the process of the gradual formation of our memories. Through the landscape, I thus point to the layered and pervasive qualities of memory that are ever-present on the surface and that shape us.

The title of the project refers to the constant organic transformation of memory - even that which seems to be clearly "true" materialized in the form of photographs.
