We live in a fast-paced world where we so often go through our days, weeks, months, and years without taking the time to stop and preserve these moments for our future selves. However, these moments are what makes up our identity and our legacy. When we have nothing to look back on, it is easy to forget about all that we have experienced and how we have grown. "If This Is All That Remains..." is a guided journal meant to help people reflect on their present self to remember it in the future. It features three hundred and sixty-eight pages to guide people through the process of self reflection, creativity, and memory keeping. The project aims to preserve moments, thoughts, and feelings from each day that may not be the typical "memorable" moments of life as a way to explore the physical nature of memories.
