Memory Palace, 2024

Memory Palace is a collection of experimental textiles utilizing my family's archival materials—photographs, letters, cards, and newspaper clippings. Delving into the delicate nature of memory, this collection reflects on how our perception can change over time. By integrating fine arts and textile technologies, the narrative of my family unfolds within each piece. The stories embedded in Memory Palace navigate the delicate balance between the childhood lens, shaped by reverent teachings about our lineage, and the mature reflection that comes with aging—allowing us to process our own memories and forge our unique understanding of the past. Through exploration of very personal materials, the collection aims to transcend the individual narrative, aspiring to convey a universal message about the journey of growing up, the things families pass down, and the profound impact they leave on our adult selves.
