artist notes (2024)

Concept

Memory smolders as an ember; inner landscape, vague, faulted and appealing. A place, a body, an object have the ability to retain within them a unit, a minimal spark capable of activate a parallel universe of memories. Based on artist’s poetic monostich (‘that ember inside remember is all we have’), Ember presents a digital journey of fleeting horizons, dreamy landscapes, angular noises and introspective thoughts, merging the personal and the collective; the past and the future.
