Ryan Squire’s collages are composed of old photographs of his grandmother.
The initial idea behind making these images was the exploration of how people remember a familiar face.
Like an old friend who you haven’t seen for years or since you were children, or possibly a member of your family who has passed away, whose appearance you only remember from memory or photographs.I found it interesting how the mind changes a face over time into an unrecognizable form, but somehow it still maintains the original essence of that person.
