I remember…on a breezy, bright holiday afternoon, playing with my family in the park near our home, weaving through the trees as I picked up the red leaves and the plump, round seeds.

I still remember…the salty smell of the seaside, the warm, wet scent in the air… passing through a bustling, noisy intersection, the colorful neon signs dazzling my eyes… 

Which little experiences in your life do you remember? What people, things, moments, smells or feelings made such a deep impression on you that you wanted to hold onto them in your memory? Artists are just like you—drop by drop, the little things in life become the elements that inspire their art. Through different creative methods, they preserve the important moments and chance events in their lives. Their art can even give their memories brand new meanings!

This exhibition focuses on how artists today use various methods of collage,expressing memories from life through the language of art. After you view the exhibition, we invite you to think back on the moments in your life, and imagine the best way you can express your own memories.
