"Once Upon a Time" invites visitors on a captivating journey through the intricate interplay of memory, identity, and belonging. This immersive art installation delves into the ephemeral nature of memory and its profound influence on shaping our sense of self and relationships.




Inspired by the exploration of memory concepts, the artist poses thought-provoking questions: If our bodies disappear, will our memories also vanish? Does the past retain its essence once memories fade away? Are memories subject to hierarchies within the larger realm of collective memory?




In response to these inquiries, the artist conceived the idea of preserving memories in a unique manner. Unlike traditional mediums of expression like words and images, the artist sought to provide memories with space for self-growth, crafting a new form of expression separate from individual consciousness. The result is "Once Upon a Time," a multisensory exploration of memory.




Each sculpture within "Once Upon a Time" is infused with the emotional resonance of its origin. The shapes, colors, and textures are meticulously crafted to reflect the complex emotions and sensations associated with these memories. Through this process, the artist materializes the intangible, retaining a poetic aspect that is both readable and enigmatic.
