Internal Weather: Memory of a Burning Lake.

This piece began as a photograph and was transformed using generative tools, double exposure, Photoshop. Layers and textures were built, mixed, and remixed until it became something new. It was made in 2026.

The work is about memory, how it slips and fractures, how some things I want to remember stay out of reach. Faces, moments, and details scatter like fragments. Sometimes I can recall the room where something happened, the walls, the backyard. Sometimes it is the bracelet on someone’s wrist, the watch they wore, the curve of their head, a scent. Small things remain while the rest dissolves.

Everything else is colors, scratches, blur. Bits and pieces that do not fit neatly together. Some memories feel alive, sharp; others fade before I can touch them.

The title Memory in a Burning Lake suggests something vivid but unstable, something beautiful yet fleeting, as if it might disappear or ignite at any moment.
