The eyes of a cat and a suitcase Rain boots An umbrella
What triggers you to those familiar places?
I am interested in the memories of places, physical memories that are no longer tangible, and the remnants that are the markers and keepsakes of our memories I am interested in the discrepancy that happens between what we remember and how it really was. I am interested in the sizes of tangible objects in our memories and the activity of reconstruction that happens in the process of retelling our stories from the past. I like what happens in the process of retelling: how time no longer exists, how we can own our past again.
In silhouettes, a presence and an absence coexist.The process of casting resembles collecting the shadows of our ever changing memories.
