A game of chess
An imaginary chess game between memory and oblivion. Our memories are naturally exposed to dissolution and mutilation, and no form of identity can be preserved over time without being transformed in some way. The first move in this game of chess, therefore, is not to ask why individuals forget, but rather, why they remember.
