“What I Remember From This Morning’s Dream, # 2”
How Photographs Themselves Carry Memory Across Time
These photographs are part of an ongoing series that reimagines environmental portraiture through acts of rephotography. Existing photographs are placed within intimate domestic spaces—beneath beds, against furniture, beside windows—and photographed again, allowing memory, light, and physical surroundings to reshape their meaning.
The resulting images function as pictures within pictures, where past and present occupy the same frame. Familiar objects, shifting illumination, and quiet gestures become markers of resilience, family, community, and the emotional traces people leave behind.
Drawing equally from photography, still life, and cinematic space, the work explores how remembrance is constructed—not as a fixed record, but as something continually rediscovered, altered, and carried forward, much like the fragments of a dream recalled upon waking.
