As I grow older, my understanding of the past ebbs and flows as new experiences recolor my memories. Long forgotten moments are brought to the surface, while others sink into the subconscious. I find myself making a conscientious effort to preserve these fragments of my past.

‘There’s Still Plenty of Time’ is a project that revisits these moments and interrogates those memories. By sifting through thousands of family photos and selecting ones that recall a truth more evident than that of my nonphotographic memory, I use the methodical process of creating cyanotypes to highlight my memories with intention. This process involves waiting and washing away parts of an image, allowing me to recreate the image in vivid blue and present the past alongside the subjective present. Each box invites viewers to engage with a unique story, revealed through the personal objects and images it contains.
