Water carries memory. It preserves what has passed through it - light, movement, dissolution, time. Even when it dries up, something remains: a trace, an imprint, a hint of flow. In its disappearance, water continues to write - in the layers of earth, in the brittle tissue of dried plants, in the dust that tastes of life.
"Memory of Water" refers to both: the memory of water - that which it stores, transforms, remembers - and the memory of water that we carry within us when moisture has become memory. The collages in this exhibition unfold between these two movements.
They are fragments of a landscape, broken topographies of paper, pigment and trace. Layers overlap in them - just as water deposits sediments, just as memory layers, flows and returns. Tears, folds and transitions mark the places where dryness becomes visible: as absence, as form, as memory.
memory.
The collage as a medium becomes the carrier of its own memory. It collects what was separated and brings it into a new balance of loss and return. Like water itself, it is never completely fixed: it connects, dissolves, transforms.
The pictures tell of landscapes that bear traces of water, of vegetation that has become memory, of surfaces that are both scars and maps. They are testimonies to a change that is quiet but irreversible.
The interplay of material and motif creates a fragile balance: dryness becomes texture, absence becomes form, transience becomes language.
"Memory of Water" invites us to perceive the subtle transitions between element and memory - between that which flows and that which remains. For perhaps every picture, every collage, carries an echo of water within it - a quiet movement that continues to flow, even when everything seems to stand still.
