This project is about filters and memory.Nowadays, people like to use filters in software to retouch their pictures. To quickly implement and simulate elements of photographic techniques. Filters are a new memory practice that designers get by using and fixing past media techniques. One could say that the filter is a technical memory. It constructs and regulates memories of the past and the present and becomes an object of memory itself. I wanted to use the past and the present to explore further the aesthetic relationship between the filter and memory practices. So, I experimented with designing a filter to restore and simulate a memory, designing a cinematic filter. To achieve a filter that somehow restores the look and feel of memory while presenting an image and visualising it.

There is no one exact shape, colour, about the memory. It's like, "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes." Memory gives me the impression of being blurred and distorted. So in my work, I will focus on these two characteristics. Also, in memory, we like to be still at a certain moment to look back on. This is very similar to a flower. It is stationary. It only shakes and changes when an external force is applied to it.In addition, a sense of place is also a very important element. In the development of a city, memory is constantly generated and perpetuated. Memory is an integral part of interpreting the spatial and local meaning and impacts the place. Each person, each memory makes a city more colourful. Therefore,I use a sense of time, and a sense of place as material for my work.
