Galih’s works explore the fragile and fragmented nature of memory—how moments from the past resurface as blurred, layered, and often incomplete images. Drawing from everyday, unremarkable experiences, his compositions merge the mundane with the psychological, reflecting how we recall not exact visuals, but lingering feelings. Through faded forms, overlapping imagery, and subtle contrasts between presence and absence, his practice captures memory as something continuously rewritten rather than fixed.
