Artist's statement:-

There is a scientific theory that says that each cell in the body has a latent
memory and that, if required, it can be recalled to fulfil a specific function.
Perhaps imagery, collected objects, photos and the way they are recorded,
could have a similar function for us to help restore something forgotten so
that it's not lost forever.
