If you've ever seen the immaculate Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), you'll recall the film's theme of memory, loss, and returning to where we started. This series reflects on the trips we've taken, and how we remember them.
Memory is a slippery force unto its own; sometimes we struggle to remember and sometimes we struggle to forget. With travel, often the place is the forefront and the people are the background. These memories just feel more personal. All it takes is a flash of photos, the scent of food, music and noise from these adventures to bring them back. Could you erase them?
Here we remember - and it all seems to come back with each word - the deepest memories from our trips and what they meant to us then and now. But memories are clumsy. They're also adept at betrayal, and how we felt and perceived things then isn't always how we remember them. Ultimately, despite the heavy-handed intervention of time we end up right back where we started. Sometimes overwhelmed with the senses of a place and sometimes feeling more at home than ever, even in a foreign place. That's the essence of what it means here to be lost and found. If you've ever felt that wave of nostalgia, of memory turning in on itself, and appreciated what it meant to you then and now, you'll love it here.
Keep your memories in time. Don't erase them. Meet us in Montauk.💞
