PROJECT STATEMENT

BOND
My mom passed away at the end of 2017. In 2020, I found the strength to face the loss and I made a photographic story giving my pain a personal interpretation through the self-portrait.When someone dear to you dies, you have to choose whether to keep something of them or let them go altogether. As a daughter, I kept the clothes.Everyone has a smell and when you decide to wear somebody’s clothes you take that person with you along with the load of pain or joy that arises from them.Like animals – for which smell has a fundamental importance in mutual recognition – in my mother’s clothes I found her smell and I marked the territory of my future by wearing them and taking them with me on my journey.From the mourning process to the projection towards my future and that of my family.
