For my senior thesis, I chose to interview five people about their childhood memories and then interpreted these memories into framed multi-layered paper cutouts. The layers have space separating each of them, in order to emphasize how fragments of memory come together to create a whole. Following their appearance in a gallery show, each paper cut was given to its respective interviewee.By creating five unique pieces of art for each person’s memory, I aimed to produce a body of work that will serve as a catalyst for reflection, stirring up the memories of my viewers through shared fragments of other people’s memories. Furthermore, by showing that everyone has an important story to tell, I wanted to inspire the interviewed participants to continue sharing their stories with others.
