Erosive Echoes

Erosive Echos

by Noah Erkes

Digital SLR; Adobe Photoshop

Methods: photography mixed/layered using Adobe Photoshop

Inspiration: Humans are theorized to form stronger bad memories than good, which has always led me to the question: can a person truly look back at past relationships with a fond eye? Can we see the positive in prior connections, or are we instead relegated to recalling only the problems that made things go awry? This photo collection attempts to explore this idea, with each visual being dominated by the presence of eerie and/or disruptive elements that inhibit the viewer's ability to find comfort in the scene.
