memory box
Year: 2009

There's a magic world, built of memories, emotions, stories, thoughts, fears, hopes, ambitions, adventures...
A world that's represented by old pictures, letters, pieces of one's life that slowly pile on into our memory - and that unfortunately as time goes by sometimes become blurry, confused, far, unrecognizable and forgotten...
I've always wondered how I could have represented that crate of emotions, that object capable of enclosing the smiles and the tears that i was facing year after year.
A metaphysical object, a funnel that could live between two worlds, the present one and the future one, represented by emotions that only time can amplify, twist and transform...
An object that could represent the passing of the years and its value and its extraordinaries abilities: the magic of existence and its short path.
Like a laboratory - a factory that contains and elaborates those moments that shape an individual, its sensibility and identity - and that allows him, one day, to discover the essence of his personal magic.
