There are countless presences in our life that have a special meaning, people, objects, spaces and places, and despite the emotional affection we feel towards them, there always comes a time when you have to let them go. In this project, the act of letting go is not perceived as a violent fracture, but as a delicate moment of parting. The sorrow is replaced by gratefulness, there is no longing for what we have lost in the whirlwind of time, of what our subjective or collective memory struggles to remember. All we are left with is a soft nostalgia.
