Our memory informs us who we are and where we have been. It is essentially our
guiding light illuminating the past, both good and bad. We rely on our memory to perform
simple daily routines of combing our hair, buttoning our shirt, or turning off the lights before
leaving the house. Since these routines are utilized repeatedly each day, they become a natural
part of our daily life. But as we grow older and time has passed, what happen to those memories
that lie dormant for a long time? Can we clearly recall specific details and emotions of personal
experiences that have passed over five, ten, or even twenty years ago? It is possible to visually
represent personal memories in a manner that convey emotions, time, and place?
