REMEMBRANCE | 2019

The word “remembrance” printed in 37 different calligraphies, taken from small vegetable paper objects — painted, handwritten lace paper — made in the convents of Pernambuco to celebrate religious events. Kept as heirlooms by the women of my family, they reflect a delicate manufacture that no longer exists.
