This piece is a compilation of five different photos of hoodoos at Bryce Canyon National Park. I created identical strips of interesting hoodoo formations to create unique formations that roughly replicate how I remember the national park as a whole.
Cityscapes are difficult to remember in terms of liveliness and character. I have attempted to replicate how on the surface, cities can look drab or uninteresting, but finding the unique character and energy requires looking closer. I created this image by overlaying a grid, creating strips, and adding a Hard Mix filter.
This photo was taken in Utah backcountry. I masked a circle in the center of the image and added the color burn filter. The image represents how a somewhat happy time in your life can be remembered as dark or painful. It also speaks to how memory can shape reality.
The original photo featured a mountain peak, to which I overlaid a grid and moved up evenly spaced strips. I then added the exclusion filter after masking over the background. The overall feeling is somewhat ethereal and warm and speaks to the healing and comfort that nature can provide, and how its prowess is ever present in memory.
My final piece is centered around grief. I took a portrait of myself and masked around individual squares, moving them to create a more powerful composition. The image speaks to how complicated remembering lost ones can be. While you will never be able to remember them holistically, it is so easy to remember small details about them.
