It all starts with items that I collected from my grandmother, what at first sight seems likea simple common object. Such object viewed singularly, can get contextualised from their memory. Yet all these things that were carefully stored away, meets with my memories that are embedded in these objects. I wanted to show this by juxtaposing a close-up of the tangible object with a found image representing my intangible memory, that I have deliberately folded so that, what is hard to remember is concealed. I did this to show that when the tangible and intangible parts of the memory immerge, it can become whole again.
