'MEMORY IS AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE VIEWED THROUGH THE LENS OF OUR EMOTIONS AND PAST EXPERIENCES...'

​​

• Siblings recall shared childhood experiences differently. ​

• This series explores the contrasting, sometimes conflicting, memories I share with my sister. Influenced by Hermann Rorschach’s Inkblot Psychology Test (1921).​

•  Images are designed to be bi-laterally symmetrical and ambiguous in appearance. ​ When the images are rotated, 'disturbing' creatures and   insects appear.​

•  The duality of  the images, juxtaposes the innocence of childhood with the darker elements of night-mares and phobias.
