An installation comprising six graphic elements features an old carpet salvaged from an attic, upon which the silhouettes of furniture remain—imprints of a life long since passed. The attic connects to an elusive space of memory, where elements of a personal symbolic system are concentrated. The traces of the furniture become a metaphor for what is lost, evoking preserved memories whose features are indistinguishable.
The attic, as a physical space, transforms into an allegory for memory—an unreachable and confined area of consciousness. Traces of furniture point to a presence that is now inaccessible, evoking a feeling of loss and nostalgia.
Thus, the memories within the installation are embodied through the secondary nature and residual quality of the imagery, where the sharpness of detail yields to the hazy contours of memory. Their indistinguishability underscores the fluidity and fragmentation of the past—a past that cannot be fully recovered or reproduced.
The nature of memory functions as both a custodian and a «distorter» of reality. Recollections become «ghosts» of past experiences, shaping our identity while undergoing new interpretations and remaining elusive and ambiguous.
