Memento Mori

Elements, natural and artificial, are the trigger to beginning a study in a landscape that lives, changes, alters and, at times, is denatured. Perhaps, just like an echo of the seemingly long distance between yesterday and today.

Another, familiar, yet unknown, but at the same time intimate space and time, which contracted and expanded, as a vein and pulse waiting for someone to listen to it.
