Sometimes memories don't leave your bones.


“Sometimes memories don’t leave your bones”. This powerful and emotional phrase evokes longing and appreciation for those beautiful memories. It reminds me to reflect on the fact that how much effect these memories have on us. It’s a part of our learning process. Some experiences change our whole lifestyle which can be both positive and negative. It means collecting the pieces left behind and burying them in your heart. These memories are not a burden but a thread that still connects us with those people who are left behind. As bones are the essential structure for the construction of our body, I believe that memories as well, play a very important role in shaping our character. My work highlights the connection between memories and our structural system to store memory. The connection of nerves and veins and the capacity to preserve memory.
