This artwork is, at its core, an intimate and silent conversation between mother and daughter, a visual testimony of what endures and what inevitably slips away. Sculptures composed of rescued objects serve as bridges between past and present, transforming grief into a shared act of creation and contemplation.

​

My mother, Adriana, was a renowned sculptor who lived surrounded by objects (tools, curiosities, fragments) through which she built a world uniquely her own. Today, these remnants, salvaged from her studio and reshaped into new forms, carry the echoes of a vibrant life. They become an emotional topography that hovers between absence and memory.

Each sculpture is a fragment of the emotional puzzle she left behind, a collection that defies disappearance through new visual and narrative configurations. In an act of love and transformation, I use the language of photography to capture these ephemeral works, stripping them of their utilitarian purposes and imbuing them with a symbolism that transcends the material. These are visual reliquaries, where each object speaks: everyday utensils and forgotten curiosities that once stood silently in her presence now gather, like offerings, on the altar of memory.

​

The creative process behind this series not only honors my mother’s life and creative spirit but allows me to inhabit grief in a tangible and poetic way. By reconstructing and framing these objects, I reflect on the impossibility of separating a person from the things they touched, shaped, and loved.

This work evokes the dual nature of memory and forgetting, a space where our attachment to material things becomes both an act of resistance against absence and, paradoxically, a means of release.
