About the family, that one that is presented without option or choice; Recognize yourself in the albums of others, and see your memories through theirs and you through them.

I was born happy in an unhappy family, shaped by social guidelines, by having, rather than by wanting. When my mother decided to start a new path searching
a different family reality and my father was left alone at home, I began to question everything I had been taught until then. The life I had been promised disappeared and I began to explore isolation.

This story does not work with a beginning, a middle and an end,
because it’s a reflection of life itself, a chaotic and emotional archive

that is born as a reflection of a crisis.

I put my eye and my perspective, but the story is not only mine, although
I reconstruct it under my own choice. She is changeable and thrives on choices
and consequences. This project was born from a need, a need to create my story,
to understand it, to know where I come from in order to continue as a daughter,
as a woman, as an artist and now as an author. To talk about what is not talked,
with those with whom I always talk, and to show my parents, how I see and I understand family.
