Blown glass, variable dimensions.
These glass spheres that contain those objects resemble time capsules or messages in a bottle, yet they also recall the crystal balls of fortunetellers. Their contents also allude to a magical world, for they feel like the ingredients of a spell.
The artist thus makes a spell of sorts to maintain her affective link with the past, and at the same time with the future, while pointing to the enigma of time, whose riddle is that of memory and death.
