WHOM BELONG OUR MEMORIES
October 12, 2014
Old photographs are memories which are caught moments that
should never end. Sadly, often we are not sure anymore to whom they belong.
Watching them is like living others’ lives somehow. Imagining your grandma with
your grandpa, how they met, how they fell in love, how everything was back in
those days…
Watching those photographs over and over again and thinking that
I should do something big with them brought me to the idea to dedicate at least
one of my artworks for my grandparents.
I guess I was already living with similar thoughts of creating
something fascinating with these memories so that they will stay a bit longer,
longer than one person can remember. Thus they will reach people, which have
nothing to do with these memories. And also those other people will imagine new stories of them and lives different
from the one they had lived. That’s the way how memories can live one life
after another. That’s how they can always
stay alive just like true love does.
So our ancestors could live a billion different lives if we
let them.
