Jump explores the distance between childhood and adulthood through memory, perception, and reconstruction. The work looks back at early experiences as moments that feel vivid, simplified, and emotionally saturated, yet increasingly abstract when viewed from afar.

Rather than presenting memory as fixed, the piece considers it as something continuously reshaped over time. What once felt immediate and uncomplicated becomes layered with reinterpretation, distortion, and loss. The act of “jumping” operates both literally and metaphorically, capturing a suspended moment that exists between past and present, certainty and ambiguity.

By compressing these temporal perspectives into a single image, Jump reflects on how memory flattens complexity while simultaneously obscuring it. The work invites viewers to consider how distance transforms not only what we remember, but how we understand ourselves in relation to it.
