A Totality of True Thoughts

Totality of True Thoughts is a marriage of diaristic images from the early 2000's with recent work, recontextualizing my archive in a meditation on memory and alienation after moving through sobriety and recognizing a lack of cohesive self identity.

With time, our understanding of who we are shifts and evolves; it’s dependent on the context we find ourselves in, the people we share space with.  In tandem with the choices we make along the way.  Here are points of reference that hold space for ruminating on paths diverted, but also where we encounter that the real is whatever will not go away.  A Totality of True Thoughts is a marriage of diaristic images from the early 2000's with recent work, recontextualizing my archive in a meditation on memory and alienation after moving through sobriety and recognizing a lack of cohesive self identity. Pulling from Wittgenstein’s philosophical writings, in which a totality of true thoughts is a picture of the world, and Edouard Leve’s Autoportrait, a fragmented description of the self, I want to tease out how images accentuate the unreliability of memory and history by providing us the entirety of it, while also refusing us the ability to truly understand anything at all.
