mental narratives series: photos

The Mental Narratives: photograph series is an exploration of memory, a part of the mental process, through the use of thread, textiles, and photography. In this series, I contrast the feelings of yearning for a long and lost childhood with my need to reframe the initial beliefs taught then. By paying homage to the gone humans that live in these photographs, all while creating a barrier that impedes our ability to see them fully, I intend to blur the memories and reconstruct new ones. Using traditional Mayan embroidery techniques, later transformed into my own, I aim to rewrite memory in a way that serves me better now.
