Reframing Memories
ARTIST STATEMENT
In the realm of digital photography, where the pursuit of perfection often dominates, Reframing Memories emerges from a state of controlled chaos. This series is a deliberate exploration of glitch art, a practice that reclaims digital errors as a creative medium. The images in this collection were born from a corruption of the original files, transforming what were once personal moments into abstract, pixelated canvases. Each photograph, stripped of its intended form, reveals a striking interplay of vivid colour strips and unexpected shapes—a visual testament to the transformative power of a digital misstep.
The vibrant colours that dominate these pieces are more than mere aesthetic elements; they are symbolic fragments of emotion and experience. Through the disruptive movement of digital artefacts, the series explores how colour and chaos impact our perception and memory. The work challenges the notion of a fixed reality, suggesting that our understanding of the world is perpetually filtered and rearranged by our internal states, much like the corrupted data that warps these photographs.
Reframing Memories also serves as a reflection on the social and psychological spaces of our contemporary existence. The fragility of these glitched images mirrors the fragility of our personal histories in the digital age. In a world where our identities are increasingly mediated by technology, this series raises critical questions about our relationship with data, the boundaries of personal autonomy, and how the images we create—and those that are created for us—shape our sense of self. By turning a digital failure into a moment of artistic and intellectual inquiry, this collection invites the viewer to find beauty in imperfection and to reframe their own understanding of memory, technology, and the fleeting nature of the modern moment.
