This research project, led by Olivia Watson, delves into the theme of memory through personal photography. Inspired by works like Trish Morrissey's 'Seven Years,' which reinterprets family memories using period props and authentic clothing, and Richard Billingham's 'Ray's a Laugh,' portraying the gritty reality of family life, we explore diverse narratives. Future steps include expanding research avenues, enhancing conceptual depth, and determining the best direction to advance this artistic endeavor.
