“Memory is short, very short. When you look at reality, it’s so much more complex, and when you try to do the same thing again from memory, you realize how little you remember. So the work becomes simpler because there’s less of it, but at the same time you also achieve less. It’s less interesting. But there again I really don’t know where I am for the moment.”
Giacometti, Alberto. Sylvester, David. Looking At Giacometti. Owl Books, 1997.

While a memory is being stripped down, it is also fascinating to examine what has been stripped away, and what remains. Why does one certain string of information remain permanent? Is it because it is more essential to the remember-er's being? Or is it more relatable to the present context?
As a result, it is always better to remember multiple aspects of one thing, and reinterpret the memory through the sythesis of these different sets of data.
