Inside the Kaleidoscope
‘Memory is like a kaleidoscope. It form countless networks in it. Patterns and patterns overlap, and another order is created so we can think of stability, peace and the future. ’
I heal and find consolation in precious memories of my youth. In a world that changes ever-more rapidly, our old memories fade and we grow tired. But we humans also find the strength to push our limits when we reflect on our memories. In such spirit of our power and resilience, I have collected and distilled my memories, one by one, into each of my pieces.
