In the series, the imagery used in the paintings were taken from the friend’s personal photo album. Each image was printed on vinyl either singularly in the middle, or doubled, next to each other. Eventually, the prints were stretched and drawn/painted over. These paintings have to do with memory, it's representation in photographs and the personal relationship one builds with them.
