I focus on the shifting and distorting of memories over time and how these memories play a role in our daily lives. My daily thoughts are at times scattered and I’m always visualizing this as a way to feel grounded, along with this, my memories aren’t fully formed or crisp. The way to cope with this has always been to “play the game,” find exactly what people want from me and play into that role. These are specific moments that cement themselves visually into my consciousness. Though personal and specific to my experiences, relatability is key. I choose to showcase my repeated and constant conversations with my inner self based on my memories, trauma, and experiences. Playing with the cards is sifting through one’s own emotional vault and the idea that after enough time completely alone and conversing with yourself, one might create faulty narratives and forget the real ones, ultimately having to fight to determine what is real and fake within one’s own mind.
