‘Fragments We Still Remember’
‘Fragments We Still Remember’ is an attempt to gather what slips away —
to catch fragments of light, of places, of people, before they vanish into the folds of forgetting.
Rooted in my research on the resurgence of film photography as a conduit for nostalgia and collective memory, this project extends beyond academic reflection. It becomes a personal excavation of memory: not as a fixed narrative, but as a shifting landscape of emotions, textures, and imperfect moments.
Film photography, with its slowness, its flaws, its tactile presence, mirrors the way we remember — unevenly, tenderly, sometimes painfully.
Every grain, every blur, every overexposed frame holds more truth than any polished, edited image could ever offer.
Fragments We Still Remember’ digital and analogue images exist side by side, not in opposition, but in dialogue. They speak of time’s elasticity, of the way memory stretches between the past and the present, sometimes clear, sometimes dissolving at the edges.
This book is not a document of what was, but a quiet reimagining of what remains —
an invitation to linger in the half-light of remembering, where nothing is complete, but everything is alive.
