Statement ," Photography is described as a "Mirror with memory". Memory is a dynamic process that builds up the past in present. According to the present concerns, memory selectively takes some part of the past, and reshape it into a new form. Memory assures one's associations based on personal experiences. Perhaps, it can be said that memory is a ruptured form of a narrative from the visual moments. A narration of snapshot images. Narratives that have always been there, like life itself, without any boundaries. A Narrative between time and logic that brings perturbation and conflict. I should think that time of the narrative has to fit into the frames of logic, then arise this question in my mind " Is only by (means

! ! “Rupture of Associations”"

Sometimes thoughts have irrational form and you find it harder to concentrate ." "When your mind wander. You dri0 from idea to idea – but there's no clear connection between them. A0er a minute or two you can’t remember what you were originally trying to think about. Some people describe their thoughts as being ‘misty’ or ‘hazy’ when this is happening. When your thoughts are disconnected in this way, it can be hard for other people to understand you."* " The outcome photos are an unstable process turning past to future and transforms to another thing in future." This collection is an endeavor to escape from these ruptures, Ruptures which incur the associations' sublation."

“Lost Narrative”"

I suspect, I am suﬀering from a kind of disorder. My thoughts seem irrational to myself and rupturing photos has become my habit. Unconsciously, the moments (Images) are falling apart from each other." I feel a gap between narration and impression or maybe the link between observation and narration is missing. " Perhaps, there is an interference factor which perturbs the process of conceptualization and today this process is malfunctioning. A malfunction of sender, message, or receiver."
