"Memento" explores memory and the ephemeral nature of life through five images that trace the arc of a shared existence. The sequence begins with an encounter and the desire that follows, moving through joy and companionship into the intensity of family life, work and daily routine. It then slows into retirement and a renewed openness to time, before arriving at the inevitable.
These stages do not appear as fixed episodes. They emerge as memories often do: fragmented, fluid and coloured by emotion. Looking both backward and forward, the series considers how a life is anticipated, experienced and later reconstructed through recollection.
The five works give poetic form to this passage through time: Lighting the Fire, Laughing in Nizza, Riding the Rollercoaster, Swimming in Still Water, and Dancing with the Shadows. Together, they form a meditation on love, memory and impermanence, and on what passes and what remains.
