"Memories Alone Are Not Enough” by Alaa Ayman    
Alaa Ayman's exhibit explores a cherished childhood memory and its reinterpretation over time. This space, which Ayman likens to a daydream, comes alive through an oil-paint video projection. Using footage her father shot during a family vacation when she was 4 years old, the video features a graceful dancer entertaining a cruise ship audience. By repainting the moving image, Ayman rekindles the wonder and aspiration she experienced as a child. Ayman asks, "What happens to a memory when it faces reality?" She reflects on how idealized recollections can fade with maturity, yet seeks to recapture childhood wonder through vibrant painted color.
