Memory is an ability that every human has to store, maintain, and recall an event or experience. However, not all memories can be retrieved or stored properly, so sometimes there are memories that cannot be remembered properly or are recalled and during the generation process, sometimes there are failures, distortions, blurs, overlapping memories of events or similar information that produce a memory. new memory. This phenomenon triggers the writer's curiosity to explore old pleasant memories until they experience fading, especially childhood memories. In this final project the author wants to describe memories that have been mixed, blurred, and overlapped. The author conducts the process of selecting the object of the image based on the family photo data that reminds him of his childhood, then composes it into a drawing with reference to the strength of the author's memory. Memories are not only accurate, and have different intensities, some can be remembered clearly, some are remembered vaguely. The process of recalling the author's memory and experience goes hand in hand with the process of describing the work. This work composes the results of observations about the process of remembering memories in the form of figures showing the nostalgia of the writer's family by using ink as a medium and ink wash drawing technique on watercolor paper. The author concludes that a person's memory follows variations in personal experience during the recording process to recall each individual's memory. Through this work, the author hopes to invite art appreciators to re-record their memories and reminisce on both clear and blurry memories.
