Memorial in Future – Miro

This project was a journey of learning and exploring ways of remembering the lost loved one in the modern context.

 

Miro is a dedicated personal memorial for the bereaved. Much like old photographs, memories fade over time and the blurry and fuzzy images become clear and vivid when people revisit them. Miro allows people to select and store precious memories in the format of digital images and videos of their loved one. It highlights the undistracted experience of remembering and recalling through physical interactions.

 

When inactivated, Miro functions like an ordinary mirror as part of people’s daily life. A mirror required regular cleaning for the reflection to be clear and it is metaphorically similar to the act of refreshing memories. It also enhances the experiences when people see themselves at the same time and reflect on their feelings when they view the memories.

Negotiation

Negotiation is a photographic project visualising repression . It is rooted in a society where many forms of expressions of the human body are still considered taboo, as well as in my personal life, where I have struggled to reconcile the person I am and the person whom I think others want me to be.

Lest I Forget

“Lest I Forget” is the exploration of thoughts that went through my mind in a life-changing experience. This personal photographic work, tests and stretches the limits of the medium and explores my fears of losing my memory that I could never do so verbally; a yearning to revisit the past and the present; an obsession to collect and document. The project also seeks to discover the philosophical nature of photography and the physical representations of the visual image.
