I attempted to use photography to visualize the reconstruction of my own memory. The world of water at 1/4000th of a second, the world of 1/10th of a second, manipulating light, bending time, using layers-does the photograph capture the truth? No, it is the photographer's truth that can be projected.

To layer is to overlap time and space, creating a reconstruction of both. The world is not as we perceive it. What do we find beautiful? What does it mean to see? And what truly constitutes an image?

What is seen is transmitted to the brain through the eye, a physical optical device. The brain matches this visual input with its database of memories, converting it into an image we recognize. This process is akin to how artificial intelligence (AI) generates images. However, while a human's database is limited to individual experiences, AI creates images based on vast amounts of data from around the world. The photographer reconstructs images from data accumulated through personal experiences. Each person sees a different view, formed by the physical information perceived through the retina.

If the brain is indeed synthesizing and reconstructing the images from our accumulated visual experiences, then one thing AI cannot yet achieve is reconstructing images based on the emotions that arise in the moment. Perhaps this emotional synthesis is something we should be striving to understand and develop.

With this in mind, I worked on reconstructing the memories that I have lived through. Perhaps I can call it my inner landscape photography.
