Mummies
A Series Celebrating The Beauty Of Ancient Civilizations
"What madness it is to regret and lament neglecting to savor such happiness or pleasure in the past! What more would we have now? The dried-up mummy of a memory.”
It was after my delve into Schopenhauer's work that the idea for the photomontage series titled 'Mummies' imposed itself on me. The masks comprising it are the mummified memories of a bygone past that, nevertheless, reveal themselves in the palpable present. Through transparency, the history of extinct civilizations resurfaces on a single and unique face, emphasizing how subjective and contingent the notion of identity remains."
