My art piece makes a critical statement about memory, referencing the human brain’s ability to alter our memories in favor of ourselves. I explore my own mind and depict my childhood as I remember it by using watercolors. Growing up watercolors were one of the first art mediums I used and became accustomed to the way they depicted colors so naturally, I decided on this project because of how impactful my childhood was for me, alongside the mere curiosity of wanting to explore my mind and recollect ‘forgotten memories’. Our brains can alter our memory, and this can be as little as what color a dress was to what actually happened in an important time of our lives.
