Web of memory

“Web of Memory” is a series about the memories we try not to return to — yet they return on their own. At its core lies the idea of memory as a trap: it holds, attracts, and compels us to relive what has already passed, reshaping the form and meaning of the past. We try to forget, but memories cling like a web — fragile yet unbreakable. Memory becomes a trap because it never truly releases us, weaving itself into the present and pulling us deeper into its threads.
Each work incorporates real spiderwebs, collected from found natural sites and transferred onto the photographic surface only once — without the possibility of repetition. Like memory itself, the web changes when removed from its original place, leaving behind only a trace. Coloured in gold, the web appears alluring yet retains its stickiness, reflecting the duality of memories — both beautiful and painful.
The portraits in the series are expressed through abstract emotional traces, intertwined with invisible threads of past experiences. Each image becomes a metaphor for inner memory, where not the person but the feeling remains.
“Web of Memory” is a reflection on the stickiness of remembrance — and on how we remain caught within its invisible nets, even when we believe we have broken free.
