Personal Cartographies

Old photographs rarely deliver us back *to* the past, but shape how we understand it now. Recalling an experience doesn't simply retrieve a static record; instead, each remembered detail resonates with current concerns and subtly alters the weight of what came before—a process akin to entropy’s decay influencing form. This continual re-evaluation suggests personal history isn’t a solid ground discovered, but actively built through choice and interpretation. Ultimately, accepting this ongoing construction allows for a richer relationship with memory itself.
