FADING MEMORIES
"As time goes by memories fade away. What once was sharp, crisp and vivid in our minds, gets blurred. Shapes and colours disappear. No matter how hard we fight. Bits and pieces are gone to never come back.
With Fading Memories I try to visualise this feeling of losing the details. Time has been put to a stop. Details are gone. The images take on a dreamlike surreal atmosphere.
But even the most fragile memory can bring back the whole story. And most of the time, we will remember what is forgotten more beautiful - if
it was tough or hard, softer - than it really was. It's what we do. It's how we survive.
In Fading Memories, I know the story behind the image. The place. The time. The people. You don't. Thanks to what you don't see, the images suggest more open stories than the ones I know. More open stories than they would do if the images were intact. So your mind will create your own story. Immediately. Don't stop it. Have Fading Memories challenge your imagination."
Transcendental Tranquility comes printed on high quality Photo Rag Ultra Smooth from Hahnemühle, an extra white 100% cotton-based paper with an extreme soft surface, guaranteeing archival standards.
I chose this paper after careful selection because, with its premium matt ink coating, it meets the highest industry standards regarding density,
color gamut, color graduation and image sharpness, while preserving that very special touch and feel of genuine paper.
All these characteristics help every print to show an impressive depth of color, subtle gradients and unique softness.
