“ the past... has it’s spaces, it’s paths, it’s nameplaces, and it’s monuments…” 
 Merleau Ponty




cante ( song) – the cante expresses a collective feeling through an individual









































it is what you do with the materials that makes it precious























‘ Like the sliver of bone that becomes a holy relic; so the objects are transformed by the presence of the believer, by the one who writes their stories: they become the vehicles for our dreams, the mediums of our memories.
