For Manola, my grandmother_
From an intimate language about time, a lifeless object from the past is recovered. On it, a natural cloak grows, tangles and accumulates, turning into a delicate layer of dust, of mold, that makes forget past
lives so that new ones can bloom.
A garden or a bed? Time appears as a double-edged draft of details: delicate but also sharp and dangerous. Time matters, so does loneliness, loss and memory; as a
mutation, the change and process to the rhythm of nature.
