As the texture of memory is gradually eroded by time, do we unknowingly stitch the cracks of consciousness together with fictional threads in our recollections? The fading of memory triggers cognitive compensation, prompting the subject to continuously proliferate simulacra to maintain the narrative's coherence. The granular medium functions both as the basic pixel of the memory map and as visual noise that deconstructs certainty.

This cognitive misdirection mirrors Heidegger's notion of the temporal dilemma of 'being-there'—we reconstruct memories from the ashes of forgetfulness, yet we can never distinguish which starlight is the remnant of a supernova and which is the phantom flame newly ignited in the cortex. The work presents not an elegy for the fading of memory, but rather an exploration of the vitality of the cognitive system's self-programming in an entropic universe: each altered pixel becomes a hidden line of poetry written by consciousness to sustain its existence.
