Memory is fluid, fragmented, and continually reshaped by time. In Stacked (Digital Time Machine), I deconstruct and reconstruct narratives through research and investigation of archival family portraits and candid photographs from Vietnam. By layering and recombining these images, I bring fragmented visual histories into conversation, creating new forms of language and dialogue between personal memory and collective history. The analog remnants of these photographs are transformed through digital processes, allowing past and present to coexist within a reconstructed visual landscape. The work becomes a digital time machine, navigating the gaps between what is remembered, what is inherited, and what remains inaccessible. Through this process, I explore how photographs preserve traces of family, identity, and cultural history while revealing the instability of memory and the impossibility of fully recovering the past.
