40 DAYS

An attempt to create a biographical narrative through the metaphors of my overlapping memories. Light and energy give rise to our lives, like the turbulent sea. Following this comes awareness, then fatigue, and finally the dark ending in the fog.

The time has come in my life when losses and separations began to happen more frequently. Each passing year is associated with several goodbyes. After the death of my father, my consciousness unintentionally burrowed into my memories. Into the memories of my family. Back to when we were all together. Now I truly feel the pain of things that I used to only fear and tell myself that there was still time before that. But that time has come. This is a project in which I want to navigate through all the stages of my memories. They are both happy and sad, colorful and black and white. Through metaphors, I aim to piece together the story of a family that slowly fades away year after year.
