Distressed Memories - Blank Card Set
Inspiration
Memories are fragile, shifting things—never quite as they were and amazingly never the same for any two people. A shared moment can result in two entirely different recollections, shaped by emotion, perceptions, and time. In relationships, we carry pieces of each other forward, whether we mean to or not. We remember things the other person has long forgotten, and they remember things we never noticed at all.
Distressed Memories explores the hazy, bittersweet nature of remembering—how the past shapes us, but can never truly be relived. Each painting in this series is named after a song, a nod to the melancholic mixtapes of heartbreak and nostalgia that have always resonated with me. Like music, memories evoke emotion but remain intangible and get distorted over time.
There’s a strange comfort in looking back, in tracing the outlines of what was, even when we know that "what could have been" is an illusion. Relationships end, but they leave behind echoes—lessons learned, perspectives changed, fragments of love and loss woven into who we become. Just because something didn’t last doesn’t mean it wasn’t meaningful.
We are shaped by the past, whether we dwell on it or not. The memories remain—softened, blurred, sometimes more beautiful than the reality ever was.
