Like a constellation, I embark on a magical encounter with a family album created by my maternal grandfather, a nurse and photography enthusiast. This led me to research my ancestors, their places of origin, the paths of their lives, and, in turn, to undertake a personal journey.
Transfers, embroidery, a genealogical tree with lightboxes, branches sewn with red threads, and a sea that subverts time.
Scientifically named Myosotis, Forget-Me-Not is the name of a plant with small blue or pink flowers that tend to cling to clothing. In some traditions, it is linked to the memory of a primary or primordial emotion and is considered a reminder of loved ones.

 

Laughter upon laughter,
love however you can,
sand on your back
like water
passing by.

Little treasures
wandering
like every other,
subtle,
fleeting.
