Memories they come and go. There are memories that we cherish and some that we lose sight of. We long for that feeling, but bit by bit we soon forget. The unreliability of a memory, isn’t that enough? ‘Some Days’ explores a non-linear narrative about facing ourselves and our memories through the use various mixed media styles and techniques. Some days we long for broken fragments, as we fear that it no longer contains the connection that was once there.
