What does it mean to delete a photograph?

Can a digital file ever be truly erased?

We delete images because they have served a temporary purpose, because they are duplicates or accidents, or because erasing an image feels easier than erasing a memory.

These photographs were recovered from the digital graveyards of phones and hard drives. Brought together, they form a strange record of the unseen, unstable and recently past.
