My Place in Eternity

Oral Traditions with Dr. Sexson has been the single most important class which I have taken in my college career. Here we have learned the invaluable skill of mnemonics and the "art of remembering everything." This is a skill which has been somewhat lost and mutated in the technological modern era. It was an art form prized by previous generations but nearly forgotten in ours.

While distinguishing and revisiting childhood palaces, I have been able to learn more about myself. The storage of new memories inextricably interweaves with those of the past allowing my memory palace to attain endless possibilities. With Dr. Sexson's assistance, we have been given the tools to create and build upon the infinite wealth of knowledge. The effect is akin to gazing into a mirror which reflects another mirror which reflects another mirror, connecting all stories to one another throughout time.

 The pictures here are of Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room, which gives the viewer the distinct sense of endless space.

Our stories are uniquely linked to every story which has ever existed throughout time. The idea of being connected to something larger than ourselves resides in the very fabric of our being and, now we are, or have always been and, now we re-member.
