I am all the time you forgot
‘I am all the time you forgot’ is a sculptural installation that explores the relationship between the intangibility
of memory and the vulnerability of the human skin. The installation places an emphasis on the vulnerability and
fragility of time within childhood memories. Using blush pink as a metaphor for time of place and suggestion of
the human skin, it acts also, as a demarcation of a subtly fragile resistance towards the fleeting nature of life.
With vulnerability as a state of loneliness felt from childhood abandonment, the search for companionship
within almost receded memories of childhood objects reflects a yearning to dwell within memories that eternalize
time, preserving all that was supposed to be. The preciousness of time becomes suggested through the preservation
of each object that stand for a fragmented moment in time within a private room setting.
The initial being present in soap and paper towels, in time, transform and depart from its own dwelling, ceasing to
exist. The self sacrificial nature and vulnerability of both soap and paper towels as they diminish after every usage
therefore becomes an embodiment of bereavement and loss to time. Sculptures of childhood objects made from
soap and paper towels hence reflect the state of vulnerability and melancholy within moments of resistance against
loss, where memories transform into figments.
