Water Memory is a project dedicated to my childhood walks in my hometown Shrewsbury.

"The theory of water memory states that when you dissolve a substance in water, it still has the memory of the substance, no matter how many times you dilute the water afterwards."

I have used this theory in my work by implying the water has captured my memories and by returning I am reminded of past experiences. This project revolves around nostalgia and the reminiscing of revisiting a space. I adapted these themes into my photography by exploring the tension between me and the once familiar walking routes. Like meeting a childhood friend for the first time in years. Following this series of photographs, I handmade a zine which was displayed next to three of my images in the Shared Grounds exhibition, Ancoats, May 2024.
