BODIES AND MEMORIES. (02) 2023/2026

Bodies and Memories is a collection that explores the deep relationship between the human body and the invisible traces of lived experience through sculpture. The body is not presented merely as a physical form but as a vessel of history, emotion, resilience, and identity. Each piece invites the viewer to reflect on how memory inhabits us, shaping posture, gesture, silence, and presence. These surfaces, tensions, and volumes suggest that memory is never fixed: it erodes, accumulates, softens, and sometimes resurfaces with unexpected force. At the heart of Bodies and Memories is the idea that every body carries a story. Some stories are intimate and personal; others are collective, cultural, or historical. The works speak not only of individual remembrance but also of shared memory, the memory of families, migrations, communities, traditions, and inherited wounds. In this sense, the collection becomes a meeting place between the private and the universal. The sculptural language of the collection embraces both presence and absence. Certain figures seem grounded and full, while others appear incomplete or suspended, as though emerging from remembrance itself.
