"Modular Memory"

Section MS15, Sarah Akigbogun

Keywords: imagery, sensory, gesture

The project tried to explore how to learn to belong, not through a single moment of arrival, but through the small, repeated gestures that help feel inhabitable.

The habit of remembering through sensory imagery and building a dialogue with repetitions and familiarity, the installation is nuanced by an idea similar to that of a book or learning.

Through moving images, I traced how everyday spaces like my apartment, a state of arrival to and fro to home and inside spaces, quietly became a part of my brain wiring. I treat belonging as something I continually rebuild. I resist neat migration narratives, embracing fragments and uncertainty as I translate “home” through spatial and visual memory.
