The daughter of pioneering singer has shared personal home videos of the late pop icon, ten years after his death to .
Bowie passed away at the apartment he shared with supermodel wife Iman and their daughter Alexandria 'Lexi' Jones on January 8 2016, following a private battle with liver cancer.
The enigmatic singer, 69 at the time of his death, had been diagnosed with the disease 18 months earlier. His twenty sixth and final album, Black Star, was released two days after he died.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Bowie's bereaved daughter - his only child with Iman - shared an introspective video in which she attempts to .
Seated at a writing desk, Lexi, 25, struggles to record her memories in the blank pages of a journal after beginning a written sentence with the words 'He was.'
Addressing the viewer with an internal monologue, she says: 'He was. I start there because it feels like the right beginning, but the sentence never seems to go anywhere.
'I sit here trying to remember clearly, like if I close my eyes long enough the picture will come back the way it was. But memory doesn't work like that.

'I remember movement more than anything, someone standing ahead of me, the sound of a voice before I even realise where it's coming from, the feeling that if I call out, they'll turn around, and they do.
'But something about it is always wrong. The moment never finishes the way it should, like a door that opens but never quite does.'
The monologue is interspersed with shaky home video footage, including childhood footage of herself dressed a Dorothy from the Wizard Of Oz while Bowie praises her off-camera, and never-before-seen clips of her father in bed.
'It's strange what stays and what disappears,' she adds. 'I can remember the way a room felt, the way laughter sounded from down the hall, the way someone walked away from me. But when I try to see him standing right in front of me, the memory slips somewhere else.
'Maybe that's just what time does, it doesn't take everything, just the details, just the sharp edges, just the parts we thought would stay forever.
'What remains is softer - fragments, moments. A feeling that someone existed before you for a while, that you shared the same rooms, the same days, the same small pieces of life.
'So maybe finishing a sentence isn't the point, maybe it was never meant to be finished. Maybe the truth is just this. He was. And for a long time, that was enough.'
Lexi, a New York based artist, recently insisted she does 'not blame her family' for 'forcibly' removing from her home and sending her to multiple treatment centres, leading her to miss her father's final days.
Taking to Instagram in February, she said she held no resentment towards her loved ones and understood that they were trying their best to help her through something that 'none of them fully understood at the time'.
'My story was never meant to place blame on my parents,' she wrote. 'I love my parents deeply and I don't hold resentment towards them.
'They were trying to help a child who was struggling in ways none of us fully understood at the time. I never shared this to create a narrative of family conflict'.

'What I as trying to talk about was the experience of being a young person inside the teenage treatment system and how it feels while it is happening. Those feelings can exist at the same time as love for the people who were trying to help you. Both things can be true'.
'I shared my experience because many people who have been through similar programs carry confusion and silence around it. Hearing from others who related has already shown me the messaged reached who it was meant to reach'.
She went on: 'I'm not asking anyone to speculate about my family or assign fault to anyone in my life. My intention is conversation and understanding about a system, not judgement of individuals'.
Before adding: 'I spoke about something that shaped me in hopes someone else might feel less alone in theirs'.
Lexi previously described how she was just 14 when two men 'well over six feet tall' came to take her to a treatment facility.
She also recalled her father writing her a heartfelt letter when revealing the decision to send her to the facility, which read: 'I'm sorry we have to do this.'

Lexi said she spent 91 days at a 'wilderness therapy' programme living outdoors in winter conditions with no privacy, showering once a week, and being forced to count out loud every time she used a makeshift bathroom so staff could monitor her.
