"memory garden" explores the impermanence of the mortal against the digital infinite. It invokes the meaning of memory and its subjugation to the subjective versus the clarity of objective documents. Both these lives, the ones remembered and the ones observed, are part of cyclical and symbiotic process, each needing the other to stay alive, but ultimately failing. Our ability to bring meaning to mortality depends on our ability to celebrate the impermanent as part of a larger trajectory.
