The wish to create this project arose right after the deaths of both my maternal grandmother and grandfather in January 2024. The grieving process and the need to reconnect with these two people who mean so much to me led me to leaf through the pages of the old family photo album that had remained stored at home for the last three generations of my family. This allowed me to reflect on the power of photographic images as windows of memory, and as living fragments of who we are and of what we are still trying to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By rescuing these ancestral images and bringing them to a new medium, I seek to give them new life, allowing them to transcend their material state while carrying them into a timeless physical medium, paper \u2014 encouraging the protection of these artifacts and preserving the memories that live in them, keeping them from fading over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a deeply personal project, but one that echoes so many other stories of loss, memory and reunion. \u201cOxal\u00e1 te volte a ver outra vez, para me contares mais\u201d is, at heart, a sincere wish for reunion, with others and with memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
