While reflecting on the end of 2023, I was struggling to remember the majority of memories I had documented on various digital devices, and that led me to wonder if I am struggling because these memories are digitally documented. This generated a conversation of how often we use digital media, and it connected my thoughts on memory loss and digital technology. I wanted to create something I can wear to remind myself who I am and recognize the memories I have. I collected various photographs consisting of my photography, other photos I have taken or my family has taken throughout my life, and created multiple cyanotype prints on two articles of clothing. I printed on a pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt to represent how our bodies retain memories, and how we carry those memories with us. I printed positive and negative memories since those negative memories continue to hurt us, but they help us change and grow. I want my audience to recognize the memories they have, where those memories live on their bodies, and question how being in the digital age affects our memory.
