"and the space around"
My mother’s mother died in a very unexpected way. This happened a long time ago, and I never got to meet
her, but she has always been very present in our family. My mother kept some of her belongings and through
them memories were passed on and stories told. And the Space Around is my way of dealing with issues
related to death and loss.
This body of work is a series of domestic landscapes in wich I explore people’s personal space and memories,
focusing on objects as containers full of meaning. It is develop inside people’s houses, specifically senior
citizen women. They allow me to access into their most intimate space with no restrictions, letting me capture
the esence of their environment. Through highly descriptive scenes I try to reveal the content of the different
interiors, and to show how they act as an extension of our identity.
