Saori Miyake investigates the act of recalling the past and how memory functions. When one tries to recall a memory from the past, Miyake notices that the process of remembering is not immediate. In Miyake’s experience, she has flashes of memories which are vague images or traces of what she originally was trying to recall and the memory mixes with current emotions. During this act of recalling, Miyake finds that memory is not the temporally distant and faded past, but can be represented as an image that is newly created with a strong presence. Her artwork reflects this shimmering imagery of our perceptions and emotions hovering with our memories at the bottom of our consciousness. |
