Memories and the archive- photography

The theme I chose to develop was memory and the archive. I wanted to reflect on my childhood memories so I found some photos of myself when I was younger. Many of the photos I looked through included me with my twin sister rather than just me on my own. This influenced the idea of including taking a photo of a photo. The photo is the memory left from when we used to go to the place the photo was taken.

I wanted to include the places where my twin sister and I used to spend time as children. When I think back to my childhood what I remember most is when we used to make dens at the park near where I live. So, I chose to photograph the trees where we made the dens. I tried to make each photograph have a meaning or a narrative behind it.
