Abstract
This project is a visual exploration of memory. While forgetting is often viewed as a failure, here it is reimagined as an essential part of the evocation process. The gaps it creates in our experiences are, ironically, never truly absent; rather, they are integral to the larger whole. The forgotten is not something to be mourned but rather woven into the fabric of our cognitive archives. The alleged absence of
certain moments and details forms the very foundation upon which our narrative is built. Mixing traditional Sicilian textile patterns with personal family imagery, these works underscore the idea that what is forgotten is just as vital to memory as what is remembered.
