I understand memory as a modified reconstruction, a malleable and synthesized reality where there are absences; there are voids and incomplete bodies rebuilt by rough pieces.
This piece forms part of a selection of works that orbits the abrupt transition between childhood and adulthood, and all that that implied. It manifests the clash, the intersection between the tenderness and pain of a time that’s usually remembered as “simpler”. My work, in part, is a longing for remembrance and its preservation in memory.
