CONCEPT / SYNOPSIS OF THE WORK
Can we question absence, the voids that inhabit us? A question and a need: to look that void in the eye, to find words to express it, to cross it without losing oneself. The research juxtaposes fragments of a personal and collective affective map, assembling them into a loose-leaf book. At the center lies the encounter with an island and a yellow house, the protagonist of the story: a real and symbolic place where absence turns into presence and finds a voice.
