Description:  Memory is the ability to encode, store, and recall past experiences, either as complete events or fragmented impressions. From birth, humans form neural traces in the brain through the stimuli they receive from their surroundings. The development of memory begins with these first sensory impressions.

Memory is a kind of game of remembering. The images we perceive through our eyes act as primary stimuli for consciousness. Our memory is fluid, transitional, and at times mutable; it can reproduce, erase, or transform an image or a piece of information.

In this video, I aimed to visualize the variable and temporary nature of memory.
