Whether you're a photographer, historian, grieving loved one, or simply a human being living in the age of visual overload, this book will challenge your understanding of memory, mourning, and meaning.
Unlock the hidden power behind every photograph you've ever taken-or kept.
In this gripping and poetic exploration, you'll learn:
• Why photography isn't just a way to capture life, but a way to construct identity.
• How grieving individuals and entire cultures use images to keep the dead alive-and what that means for healing.
• Why do some photographs bring comfort while others deepen the ache of loss?
• The neuroscience behind memory and image-how your brain processes pictures and how it changes who you are.
• How national tragedies and historical trauma are archived, mythologized, or erased through visual media.
• What we risk losing in the flood of selfies, algorithm-curated memories, and disappearing snaps.
You'll walk away with a deep understanding of how personal photos shape the story you tell yourself-and how collective images shape the stories nations tell about themselves.Ready to rediscover your past-and reshape your future-one image at a time?
