The series "Before We Remember" comprises of an on-going journey where I explore my personal emotions and memories through the of study of my relationship with my surroundings. It can be observed that there has been a consistent presence of landscapes within the composition of my paintings. What I have discovered through much reflection, is that the personal significance of landscapes to me lies in my need to capture the memory of it.

Playing with dots, shapes, and colours, I attempt to create landscapes of nature that appear dreamy and unclear. The intention is to portray our inability to remember the details of every moment. In the time of modern technology, we take for granted the ease of capturing an image or moment through our smart phones. However, I have come to realise that while the memory of significant and impactful emotions may be easier to recall, the visual preservation of every single moment I have experienced are not as sharp. The experience of seeing a landscape and recalling every detail is to me is parallel to my inability to recall other moments I have lived in this life. Thus, our memories are but, an incomplete sketch. While the general structure of an event experienced and emotions felt may be present, over time, our hold of its accuracy becomes hazy. 
Try as we might, we may not be able to commit every single detail our lives to memory. Yet the question remains, do we need to remember the details? Through the watery, unrefined, and blurry landscapes of "Before We Remember", I hope to convey these exact musings.
