Spectramnesia

Spectramnesia (noun)
Pronunciation: /ˈspɛktrəˈmɪzniə/

Definition:
A state of fragmented or distorted memory, where sensory impressions, emotions, and experiences blend and shift, creating a surreal, dreamlike recollection of events. In this state, moments are not fixed in time but are mutable, experienced as vivid flashes of disconnected images and feelings, often revisited in the form of hallucinations or altered perceptions.

Etymology:
From "spectrum" (a range of colors or experiences) and "amnesia" (a condition of memory loss), suggesting a blending of perception and memory that distorts reality and creates an overwhelming, colorful fog of the past.

Lore Note: The Spectramnesia Bloom

A flower that blooms not in soil, but in the cracks of fractured reality itself. The Spectramnesia Bloom is a fleeting cure, a panacea for those lost in the sickness of self-doubt and disconnection. Its petals shimmer with a thousand hues, each one an imitation of a memory, a feeling, an echo of what could have been.

Consumed, it distorts the world—memory bends, perceptions twist, and for a moment, the boundaries between what is real and what is imagined blur. It offers escape, a dive into the unreliable currents of the mind, where time becomes a fluid illusion. But like all things born from the artifice of unreality, its effects are transient. The more one seeks it, the further the line between truth and illusion stretches, until the bloom itself becomes just another mirage in the desert of the mind.

A symbol of the collection’s heart: to explore what remains after the fabric of the real unravels, to dive into the false, the simulated, and the half-remembered—and to find, in those spaces, something like truth.
