Made from Memory

Photographer Robert Darch uses memory to recreate scenes that appear real, however they have been manufactured to recreate lost memories. During his youth, Darch suffered from a stroke and created a series of images called Vale in response. They feature locations and subjects that appear real, as they are made up from elements that are real. However, they have actually been created as part of a coping mechanism, exploring themes such as surrealism, loss and identity. The effect is beautiful and empathetic, as it connects with the viewer on an emotional and relatable level.
