See Memory is a hand-painted time-based work that explores how memory is formed, altered, and healed. Composed of more than 30,000 painting frames, it is painting stretched across duration: images that dissolve, drip, and reassemble in the unstable rhythm of memory itself.
Rooted in fine art yet drawing on the traditions of animation and creative nonfiction, See Memory translates the science of memory into an immersive visual form. In dialogue with the research of Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel and other leading neuroscientists, the work illuminates how trauma shapes the mind and how new insights can repair and reshape the stories we carry.
Premiering on public television in 2025 during Mental Health Awareness Month, See Memory has circulated widely across universities, museums, and conferences, sparking conversations at the intersection of art, neuroscience, and healing. Accompanied by a 113-page educational guide, it also functions as a teaching tool: offering activities, discussion prompts, and expert commentary designed for classrooms, treatment centers, and community dialogue.
Its imagery has been exhibited internationally—from Art Basel Miami to Berlin Art Week—and installed in institutions ranging from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to the UCLA Semel Institute.
At its heart, See Memory poses a universal question: Can we paint a new picture of our past?
