The importance of memory in context with the body and how social media can alter its sentimental value.

Everyone at some point in their lives will cherish at least one memory. The common concept within my collection is the importance of that. How such memories can evoke different emotions or imagery to the individual. Within today's society it is normal for memories to be shared on social media platforms or created solely for that purpose. Are we losing the sentimental value of memories by broadcasting them for everyone to see? Would they mean more if we held them close and kept them private? Within my collection of jewellery and keepsakes I portray the importance of memory and privacy. Establishing how living in the moment allows the wearer to stay grounded and true to themselves. The collection is a comment on the relationships, we as individuals, have with social media and how we should disentangle ourselves from such influences in our everyday life. Making the most of the little things in life more often and allowing ourselves the chance to breathe.
