And scratches create a new image but also give access and reveal the layers behind it.
Like a overpainted Moment in time that can only be partially accessed once it happened. The glimpse of what once was a moment became a memory.
Changed by the new perception to it.

This is kind of shown in the painting multiple layers
The original painting is overpainted several times
Creating layers of paint on the canvas like layers of memories and each time a new layer comes the original memory fades.

And also how memories change as our perception on them changes over time.

It’s about the time and transience.
And how we try to capture moments but can never fully get back to it.
How we try to remember or go back to our memory’s but can never fully live the moment again.
Some thing that passed will never come back.
