Abstract:
This
thesis
will
examine
the
construction
and
layering
processes
involved
within
memory
and
its
correlation
with
identity.
The
images
presented
in
Fragment
are
a
manifestation
of
my
own
human
condition.
I
use
my
personal
experiences
and
vulnerabilities
to
create
a
collection
of
tangible
objects
out
of
intangible
moments.
The
images
are
a
dissection
and
visual
analysis
of
how
my
memory
informs
my
sense
of
self.
They
form
a
self-referential
but
non-sequential
narrative
that
speaks
to
the
collective
human
identity.
It
is
my
intention
that
these
photographs
represent
my
personal
mental
landscape
and
will
act
as
a
mirror
in
order
to
transcend
my
understanding
of
identity
to
a
universal
experience.
