This work extends my exploration of the parallels between memory, neural architecture, and spatial mapping. Inspired by the structural and dynamic properties of the brain, I construct layered visual systems that evoke how memories are formed, stored, and continually reinterpreted.

My approach draws on the observations of neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks, whose work underscores that memory is not a fixed archive but a dynamic, creative act of reconstruction. In books like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Sacks revealed how the brain can fabricate, rearrange, or lose entire sequences of memory, resulting in deeply personal inner geographies. My work visualises these shifting cognitive landscapes.

The layered textures and gestural marks mimic the processes of neuroplasticity and reconsolidation — where the act of recalling a memory alters its structure, sometimes reinforcing and sometimes eroding it.  The network of contours, shifting forms, and non-linear arrangements reflects the nature of memory itself: unstable, selective, and often distorted. Just as certain memories grow exaggerated or diminished through repetition or emotional weight, this visual terrain ignores traditional scale and distance, prioritizing intensity over accuracy.

Ultimately, these works attempt to act as a visual metaphor for the map-like nature of memory: an evolving, decentralized network of experiences and impressions through which we continually navigate and reinterpret the world around and within us.

My interest in these themes developed from an artist residency at the LINE lab at the University of Lausanne. I have since gone on to collaborate on various research and teaching projects.
