SciArt Magazine Featuring, Propsoganosia

Joshua Sariñana’s photographic series Prosopagnosia is a profound exploration of memory, identity, and the nature of perception. Featured in SciArt Magazine, this body of work employs a circular frame to create a telescopic effect, visually symbolizing the distortion and reconstruction of past experiences. Drawing on his background in neuroscience, Sariñana underscores how memory is malleable—each recollection alters and reshapes the past. The images in Prosopagnosia were taken during a formative period in his life, capturing emotions of love, wonder, and isolation. Through the act of photographing and reinterpreting these moments, Sariñana invites viewers to reflect on the fragile, shifting nature of memory and how imagery can serve as both a trigger and a reconstruction of personal history​.
