I don’t remember
installation, fabric, ink, frame, paper, digital print, pencil, 185x135 cm, 2025
It is like unfolding something forgotten — only to realize that you no longer recognize it. Such a gesture is not about recovering memory, but about acknowledging that recollection is already impossible. The work does not attempt to preserve memory; it registers the very fact of its absence.
The process itself is central: the fabric is deliberately moistened before the pattern is applied. Moisture inevitably causes the form to blur, and the ornament loses its clarity regardless of how many times it is repeated. In this way, the method becomes not only a technique but also a metaphor.
What matters here is the recognition itself: it is an attempt to say directly — “I do not remember.”
