I Hope You Will Remember Me
I Hope You Will Remember Me is a book project that includes family archives, current photographs, text, and inserts. Through this medium, the book is a physical representation of both my emotions and reactions to fragmented memories. When making images, I am drawn towards aureate lighting, intimate moments, and the quirks of our unpredictable world. The project is a personal exploration of what it means to be alive. It stems from being born in the transitional period of analog to digital technologies, how fleeting moments have been captured over time, and living life through dissociation. This project will not end here; it will be worked on for the rest of my life.

All images featured are shot on film with the exception of a sonagram. I scanned in archival images as well as the negatives/prints from current images. Film formats used are 35mm, 120mm, polaroid 600, and polaroid sx-70. In the final book, there are qr codes for childhood videos shot on Hi8 tapes.
