Cherished Memories


RMIT University


Collection of documentary photographs documenting the sudden upheavel of a childhood garden that shared such vivid childhoods memories.
  
In our daily lives, every person, at some juncture or another, encounters change, be it a gradual or abrupt transformation, occuring in subtle increments or as a momentous upheaval. Change is a constant companion in our lives, some being substantial, and others seemingly inconspicuous, yet each carrying its own weight and significance. 

The photographic series doucments the process of tending to the childhood garden, serving as a poignant metaphor for the gradual evolution of growing up on the property and the sudden upheaval of losing the garden along with the cherished memories it once cradled. 

Presented in black and white, the series vivdly portrays the profound sense of loss associated with a childhood home, along with the tangible recollections it held, prompting the viewer to contemplate the diverse ways in which we encounter loss in our daily lives.
