Damped memories

This project is based on smell association with places, people, and memories we have, in tangible and intangible forms. It is an emotional expression of a place where I have spent wonderful memories with my father which I can only visit. The place has changed, and memories have faded away but the strong association of musty smell reminds me of chapters of memories. 

Smell Association

As I visit my old house, locked up from a decade, it is not only damped with moisture but memories too. The untouched chair of my father reminds me of him watching his favourite sports, cricket on tv while he kept my nickname on one of those days. It is dusty and wood has fallen weak to water leakage from above like my memories blurring it’s boundaries, sometimes I wonder do I remember his voice or it’s just a thought I keep alive repeating again and again! When people leave you behind unexpectedly do they live more in our hearts or memories? 

Moss has grown at corners of the room, it is Musty, damped with last few memories.
