Maria (2012-2013)

Too many stories, same narrative, same place but different people and different time. How many stories live long and how many are quickly forgotten? And what remains of that other than some writing that also fades away?

This series shows how people wrote their memory over others’, then adds to that by masking their memory and writing over it. There was his Marisa, and there was my Maria.

The letters will be burnt by the sun… The rock will eventually be gone…

Only the photo will remain, and the idea of Maria!
