A mobile memory album that lets people approach emotionally charged photographs slowly, partially, and temporarily.

Personal photo archives make memories immediately visible. But after loss or separation, seeing a photograph can bring past closeness back all at once, intensified by the pain of present absence.

dear___ explores a slower and more controlled way of encountering personal memories. Instead of permanently displaying or deleting a photograph, users can cover people or regions with editable white masks, reveal them through touch, and watch the mask gradually return.
