The project looks at the connection between memory, imagination, and the passage of time. By engaging with the scientific narrative the double-slit experiment in quantum physics, the project examines how our act of observing memories can influence our understanding of both the past and the future. It suggests that perception, when intertwined with imagination, transcends the linear progression of time, creating a fluid and multidimensional experience. Through the integration of scientific ideas into an artistic practice, the project experiences conventional boundaries and a reflection on how reality is shaped by both what we observe and how we interpret it.
