Memories are fluid throughout our lives, and although we are constantly creating them, they are one of the most elusive phenomena to understand. They have emotional and psychological implications on every level, as blurred flashes or vivid cinematic recordings, recorded in ways beyond our control. Sometimes they afflict us like a disease, other times they vanish and seem impossible to retrieve—yet as life progresses, we cannot deny that our memories are the most intimate companions we have. Gray Matter takes on a photojournalistic voice, expressed through conversational interviews with both friends and strangers who paint the remarkable nature of the human spirit as it is shaped by the current of time.
