Description: Memory is the ability to store past experiences in the mind and recall them, either entirely or in fragments, when needed. From birth, humans leave traces in their central nervous system—the brain—through stimuli received from their surroundings. The development of memory in humans begins with these first impressions and memories.

Our memories are a game of recollection. The images we perceive through our eyes are the primary stimuli for our consciousness. Our memory is fluid, transitional, and at times, mutable. Memory can reproduce, erase, or alter an image or a piece of information.
With this video, I aimed to visualize the idea of our variable and transitional memory, editing and reproducing images like a mirror.
