Collective Memories (2024)
Mixed Media (copper wire, bronze leaf, rope, acrylic on Canvas) | 90 x 90cm
From Helen :
"When I think about this artwork, I reflect on how memories are crucial in shaping our minds and influencing our identities, behaviors, and perceptions. They serve as the building blocks of our personal narratives, helping us understand who we are and where we come from. Positive memories can foster a sense of security and happiness, while negative ones can lead to caution or fear.
Collectively, our memories impact our decision-making processes, emotional responses, and social interactions. They help us learn from past experiences, adapt to new situations, and empathize with others. For me, memories are fundamental to our mental and emotional development, shaping our worldview and guiding our journey through life."
