Sophie Parisi

Mom and Dad – Remembering the ivy that would grow through the wall of the garage every spring in my childhood home, representing the familiarity and painful change in growing older.

Fingerprints – Memories embed themselves into physical objects, staying caught in a vessel.

Kitchen Dance – Sometimes your memories have a centrepiece, one object reflecting itself back through everything you remember from that time.

Swim Deep – Physical experiences permeate memories. What I remember most about the public pool in my suburban hometown is the feeling of the pressure crushing my head whenever I would swim to the bottom.

Christmas Eve Fish Dinner – Experiencing the same traditions again each year, the memory of each time overlapping into one.

Half-Asleep – Dreaming and remembering whilst you’re in and out of sleep, what is a real memory and what was just a dream?

Catching Hermit Crabs – Holding on to small details you hold the most dear while time passes in the background.

Kitsch and Kismet – Collecting lots of special and shiny things, each one holding it’s own small memories.

First Kiss – Every time you revisit an important memory, it changes ever so slightly. Haven’t you noticed?

Over and Over and Over Again – Seeing similar memories and feelings in different places, changed and reflected back over and over and over again in each different time.
