This project explores the relationship between memory, image, and fiction. Inspired by thinkers such as Honoré de Balzac and filmmaker Chris Marker, it reflects on how memory is constantly rewritten rather than simply recalled.​Through paintings, photographs, and collages centered on the image of the egg, I revisit fragments of childhood memory. The egg becomes a symbolic form—fragile, intimate, and transformative—through which personal memories, imagination, and loss intertwine.​Rather than reconstructing a single memory, the works assemble fragments, creating a visual map of sensations and emotions connected to the elusive image of a white egg from my childhood.
