Monocotyledon was one of the first amusing word I ever learned, symbolising the playful nature of childhood and the joy of discovery. This book is not so much about monocotyledons themselves, but a tribute to those cherished childhood memories that linger with us. It explores how ideas are captured and preserved through photography, blending both historical and modern techniques. The project plays with the tension between the impermanence of a moment and the permanence of an image, reflecting on how some memories remain vivid and clear, while others fade and blur over time. Through this exploration, Monocotyledon invites reflection on the fragility of memory and the passing of time.
