"The memories we create with our loved ones are the most precious things we have in life. We often realize this too late. We would love to see someone we love, but that is no longer possible.
The images I'm sharing here represent the progress I've made in communication with those who sent me these images and the stage I've reached in meeting their expectations. At this point, I've realized that I can provide people with a "new" moment and a "genuine" emotion, and now, I'm ready to announce this.
Please kindly be informed that I'm ready to try to create 'new' moments for your lost loved ones. You can email me at alperyesiltas@gmail.com!

Ugh...these are just too sad. I don't know if this would help me. It just makes me think of all the years they've missed. It's heartbreaking.
It’s so sad to see the children. You have done a beautiful job with everyone on this list.
I appreciate the loving gesture, but I’d rather remember my loved ones as they were, and not create some false sense of hope or generally mess around with my actual memories…
As someone who has lost an adult child (26yrs) I, at this point in time, wouldn't want to see an image of her at say 40 - it'd be heartbreaking reflecting on what she missed out on and what we don't get to share with her - and yes, I'm blubbering as I'm writing this.
Load More Replies...These made me tear up. There's no information on how the person was lost, but just seeing such realistic portrayals of what they would maybe look like now broke my heart for the loved ones who lost them.
I really don't like this. As a species we have managed to grieve since we could rationalise death but new technology just shouldn't be used like this. Watched a video of a woman that lost her young daughter and after a team did some work, they gave her a VR headset and let her interact with her 'deceased child.' This is gonna f**k up the human mind. Who would want to create false memories that could potentially confuse authentic memories?
This is such an incredible and interesting idea!! It may not be for everyone, but I could see this really helping some people cope with the loss of a future with their loved ones and perhaps provide some closure to some of the 'what if's' that we are left with. This is cool and original imo.
These are beautiful, and the gesture is a very sweet one that clearly comes from love. I do think it could do more harm than good in some cases. This could cause a lot of anguish and lead to a spiral of grief. Not sure blurring the lines between reality and imagination is a wise one.
