Momnesia. Memory substitution

Key words: anxiety, defence mechanisms, amnesia, memory distrust syndrome,depression, momnesia.

This project about pregnancy, childbirth and first months of newborn.
What we see on these images looks smily and happy as should be by common Knowledge. Anyway they were originally rejected as not being in accord with reality.
In fact it was dramatic period in life full of suffering from depression, constant state of tension and breakdown.

To refresh memories were made screenshots. It was linguistic operation of translation past pictures of present into present pictures of past.

Now we see that we were actually happy, child is fabulous and one of a kind. We changed images and with support of images we changed our past.

Usually it takes years for such process of memory manipulating . But pregnancy and childbirth are special cases. So the memories about them.
Momnesia is new scientific name for this massive memory loss.
Photographic images easily fill lacunas in one's minds. They form positive long-term memory that keeps one's person identity healthy and sound.

But is this memory substitution the narrow escape or next mind trap?
