The Departed Death and Memory While memories may fade and photographs may dull or crumble, the image and memories never ages. Frozen in time, never growing old, a portrait captures people in an instant that can't be captured again after someone departs. Images can stimulate tactile, auditory, or visceral memory which can't go beyond the time of the captured moments of the ones who have past. The departed remain but a memory, images, a constant, while the living continue living their own lives, growing old and perhaps including their loved ones in their lives despite their inability to age.
