“Fragments” by Photographer Paul Yem

A wonderful series by photographer Paul Yem. Created out of a sense of curiosity and self-reflection, “Fragments” is an attempt to dwell within the subconscious — to conjure a memory pulled out of context and into an unyielding light. As Yem states:

“this is a fabricated nostalgia in search of a self constricting understanding, a vulnerable, unfillable void. a yearning to forget all of the tiny little details that i cannot seem to let go, that i piece back together so scrutinizingly meticulous.
i sink deeper and deeper, withdrawn and incoherent and yet i feel unwound and unfettered. it’s where i go to meddle with the inner workings of a distant train-of-thought, so subtly complex yet so sweetly sensual.”
