A BLAST FROM THE PAST



When we were young we never had the internet, a mobile phone or many toys to play with 
and so we were constantly making up different ways to pass time. This short poem is a cluster 
of our childhood memories using text and visuals to create a feeling of nostalgia, reminding us 
of the strange activities we all did as the zealous kid we once were.

Each image is defined by a moment or moments and has its own place where it lives in memory. 
These memories live on the bus, in a car, your room or at the kitchen table etc. Converting these 
memories into images required me to re-live each moment, like going through an old photo album, 
remaking an object, getting the bus early in the morning when it’s freezing cold. This helped me 
visualise and re-create each individual memory into these nostalgic images.
