Muisto II – Memory II

Fading Echoes: Memory II

"Memory II" serves as a continuation to "Memory I"  within the "Oulu mukanasi – Oulu with You" series 2023. Here, the relentless progression of the disease is palpable as memories fade further. The artwork, depicted on a black canvas adorned with yellow polka dots, portrays two figures that are scarcely discernible, their presence nearly dissolving amidst the fading memories.

This piece poignantly illustrates the intensified impact of the disease, wherein memories are increasingly blurred and tenuous. The yellow circles on the dark canvas symbolize fragmented memories, barely perceptible in the dimming recollections of the afflicted individual. The figures, almost imperceptible, represent the fading identities and the struggle to retain a semblance of self amid the engulfing haze of forgetfulness.

"Memory II" serves as a visceral reminder of the relentless nature of memory loss, urging viewers to contemplate the fleeting nature of recollections and the profound significance of cherishing each moment before they drift away into the void of forgotten memories.
