The Nights as Inexorable as the Sea series considers the quirky and unpredictable nature of dreams and memories. Asleep—existing in that liminal space—I am confronted with situations that I can’t quite explain, often fraught with absurdities and illogical occurrences. I’ve always been amazed when friends recount intricate details and entire storylines of their dreams while mine remain in shards—minute fragments of what was. Was it really a dream, or was it a previously forgotten memory seeping through to my conscious mind? Due to the ephemeral nature of both memory and dreams, these images are in tins to simulate the memory boxes in which people store their family photographs and mementos.
