We control very little in the scope of our lives. By control I mean that which cannot be taken by another person. In the end I could only think of the personality of the individual and the integrity of that individuality.

With that in mind I made this work about me, because I believe that since each person is inherently different, there is no speaking for them. Thus the only person I can speak for is myself.

To do this, I created a series about memory, an integral part of a personality. I decided to do so through photography and painting because they are documentary media, proving events occurred and people existed. Through the use of frames, hands, simple imagery, and texture, I have shown three things, that these are my memories, how precious that is, and how painful they can be.
