Memories, personal and familial, can collide and become a myriad of moments interspersed amongst the family unit. Memories from one person are placed on the next, due to connection and recollection. The pictures of our family become ours by relation and in turn, become a collective memory. Moments passed by, moments unwitnessed, become collated fragments of lives that move in parallel but never in conjunction. Memory and nostalgia, become personal adaptations of events that are taken but inexperienced by yourself. The memory is a tool that can guide, perplex, confuse and convince. Memory can cause false, blurred, or fantasized realities. I examined Imagined Memory, False Memory Syndrome, Self-Perception Memory, False Recognition and Hindsight bias. For each memory theory I reflected on personal experience of how my own memory has falsified my own perceptions through abstract illustration.
