Memory (Under the Rain of Time)

Memory is a series of short, under-one-minute videos created with artificial intelligence — fleeting fragments that capture moments on the verge of dissolving into the past. From these videos, I have selected several frames, each depicting the intimate relationship between memory and solitude.

Memory, for me, is a paradoxical and often contradictory concept: when sweet, it slowly transforms into longing; when bitter, it turns into a quiet grief or anger. Yet beyond this duality lies something deeper — our inability to escape the process by which every moment inevitably becomes a memory. Every glance, every silence, every breath is fated to be stored, reshaped, and reinterpreted by time.

In Memory, I attempt to explore this perpetual state of wandering between past, present, and future — a wandering that creates a kind of mental distance from the world, a distance that is both a wound and a refuge. This series is an invitation to pause, to see memory not as a simple record of the past, but as a living layer that continuously builds us, breaks us, and reshapes us.
