This body of works honours the gatherings, the familiar parties and the joy of sharing quality time with our loved ones.

The project aims to recall memories that are shared among the members of our community. It is my hope that love memories will be treasured for good.

The materials used obey strictly to significant reasons.

Old family pictures, digitalized and edited were transferred on cotton fabrics, gauze and stainless steel mesh by hot stamping techniques, aiming to evoke the time that goes by.

The use of rosewood and guatambú wood, treated crafty, helps to the idea of familiar, domestic environment.

Alpaca and sterling silver were used for structural reasons.
