When holding on to a memory dearly, we face the inevitable nature of the human brain, where lapses eventually happen. However, I don’t see them as a bad thing. Instead, I view them as invitations – empty spaces waiting to be filled with more colourful memories. For me, it’s the memory of when I moved to Tokyo, Japan, just for a short period of time. That chapter in my life is etched deeply into my soul, and as the details blur, I’m ready to fill these gaps – represented here as slices of colour within a cherished image of my memory – with new ones.
