How do we elaborate fragmented memories through objects? Can we reflect on these found and treasured remnants, the forgotten parts, which intimate processes of erosion, trauma or transformation have left behind?

 

My work investigates how memories are embedded in found and treasured objects and images - small, fragmented things that speak of erosion, trauma, and transformation. Thanks to these traces, silent witnesses to something larger, I explore the delicate processes that shape both our memories and our landscapes.

I begin by gathering fragments from nature, leaves, twigs, shells, rocks, and photographing details in a landscape. Through these photos, sketches, and found materials, I reimagine these pieces, drawing connections between the intimate, personal memories they represent and the larger landscapes they come from.

The act of collecting and assembling is deeply intimate, and in this process I reflect on concepts borrowed from Ecofeminism and Psychology - particularly around the themes of fragmented perception and the female body. I photograph, gather, and then analyse the collected and found objects over time in my studio, gradually intertwining them with natural pigments, stones, clay, and old fabrics. In visual collages, prints, transfers and spatial compositions they merge with other materials, which all hold their own stories.

Every piece I create is part of an ongoing dialogue between the individual and the environment. The time I spend - often months or years - becomes a way of grounding myself in a place, a memory, and a body. The work is not just about what is seen, but about the quiet resonance of what is felt, held, and remembered in a site.
