Memento Mori — zoe de blasis

This book is a collection of moments. I forget a lot so I like to write things down, take photos, keep mementos, so I can remember the girl I was, how I felt in that moment. It’s for me to remember the in between-ness that I would otherwise forget.

I’m not sure if anyone else will care or even like this project but I don’t really care. I’ve always made my art for me and not for anyone else. I’m not sure if that is selfish.

Because of my parents’ divorce when I was very young and a long term abusive relationship during my formative years I don’t know what intimacy means exactly in the terms of adult relationships and how to navigate them. I use photography to help me define things - like intimacy. This project is for past me, present me, and future me. I want to define intimacy on my own terms.
