Artist Statement

From the series "memories_lost_and-found".
Declarative memory (sometimes referred to as explicit memory) is one of two types of long-term human memory. Declarative memory refers to memories which can be consciously recalled such as facts and knowledge. While declarative memory is similar to explicit memory, declarative memory is memory that a person can state in words, while explicit memory is the deliberate recall of information that the person recognizes as a memory.

Declarative memory can be divided into two categories: episodic memory, which stores specific personal experiences (memories that store chunks of observational information attached to a specific event), and semantic memory (memories that store general factual knowledge that is independent of personal experience) which stores factual information.
