Memories all leave debris.We don't recall everything in our lives, but all memories stay somewhere in our minds for a very long time.Our memories remain in our minds forever, even if they have degenerated or changed color over time.

“It is a work of bringing together traces of debris. Heartbreaking and traumatic memories all leave rubble. The remains stay somewhere in our minds for a very long time, and the color fades over time. Memories are largely divided into three types. The remains of the most powerful explosion remain large chunks and become a core memory that cannot be forgotten over time. And then there will be faintly remembered short-term memories rolling around, and finally bits of memory in your head that you can't remember, tiny bits of debris. Memories expressed in gypsum are mostly negative memories.”
