LIFE IS GOOD 
WHO'S ASKING

Memories for me, both positive & negative, are a vital helper to understand where you have been, what you have learned and where you are going. I have therefore encapsulated various objects connected to personal memories in transparent, airtight containers to see these in a different perspective. Like how we look at preserved body parts & animals from the past to see what we previously discovered. In a meditative way, I have performed a spiritual cleaning where my memories are now connected to a concrete object that now acts outside of my body. In this way I get control over my experiences and how they affect / affected my inner self.

 

With a carefully planned categorization of my memories/the jars, I have built an written archive with a sheet with information about the objects in each jar. The jars are divided in 3 different groups (A: People B: Places C: Hobby) In this way I feel that I create a straightforward and clear communication with the viewer. I want the viewers to see themself through me and maybe find some peace by looking at my mistakes and experiences and realise that the bad choices are sometimes necessary to lead a way to something else.
