Time Memory is a wall installation that intertwines photography and embroidery. The images were taken in the house where I spent my entire childhood and adolescence—its rooms, objects, and old photographs.

The starting point was learning to embroider, as a way of reconnecting with emotional memories, especially those tied to my maternal grandmother, a significant figure in my early years, who used to embroider and sew. Embroidery, as a manual craft, invites slowness. By stitching onto photographs, I seek to reconcile past and present, soothing the anxieties and unease brought on by the passage of time.

The images were sewn onto pieces of retro fabric, forming a kind of patchwork quilt—a visual metaphor for the fragments of life. The embroidered designs reframe the photographs, with threads that sometimes connect different images. The work consists of a set of 30 photographs, repeated until reaching a total of 81, differentiated only by the variations in embroidery, representing the many possible paths, stories, and memories.

The project also includes an artist’s book and a selection of 10 photographs, chosen from the 81, which were rephotographed before being stitched onto the fabric base—another layer of time upon time.
