My "Lost Memories" piece in terms of "Overlay"

So I reading though the book to find some information to support my idea for the final project and I read this passage the really just said it all:

" When I come across a moor on which no trees, habitation, or person is visible, and come upon a ring of ragged stones, a mound or cairn of stones, I know this is human made. I think neither if a boundless nature nor of god or goddesses, but of the people who made these places. Art itself might be particularly defined as an expression of that moment of tension when human intervention in, or collaboration with nature is recognized. It is sufficiently compelling not to be passed by as a part of "amorphous nature." One stops and asks: Who made this? When? Why? What does it have to do with me? One of art's functions is to recall that of which is absent-whether it is history, or the unconscious, or form or social justice."

So I just wanted to get some feedback about what you all thought about my "lost memories" in relation to overlay and recalling what is absent. Thanks and I hope you all enjoy the photos.
