My 1st Year at University was so chaotic that I often found that memories began to get blurred, I found that I would get lost a lot and that I would start to confuse memories of home with the memories that I had from university.
It was the first time that I ad been away from home for so long and it became clear to me how easy it is to settle into a new area, and how home can be a combination of places not just one.
The whole year went past so quickly and I spent a lot of the time learning about new things and meeting new people. I think this is why I spent so much time looking at my surroundings and looking back, debating the decisions I had made and how my life now compared with my life before.
I used photography and painting to combine the exact image of a place with the cloudiness of my head at the time. It was a way for me to remember and forget at the same time, the areas covered by paint are unknown and forgotten similar t the way that our minds forget parts of the information.
