Copenhagen

Memory does not preserve a place as a fixed image. Some parts remain clear, while others gradually fade. Over time, newer memories enter and begin to overwrite what was there before, although older images may never disappear.

In this work, Copenhagen remains as a fading harbor scene. Parts of the city are recognizable, while others dissolve into a textured field. Vertical traces suggest gradual loss of memory, as if sections of the image are being erased over time. At the same time, later architectural forms appear across the surface, introducing newer layers of memory into what already remains.

These layers of memory do not simply replace one another. They overlap, interfere, and alter what came before. The work reflects memory as a continuing process in which places are retained, weakened, obscured, and gradually rewritten by later experience, rather than preserved as stable and complete images in the mind over time.
