Blue Sea of Memories

Description

Blue Sea of Memories – Fine art square print – unframed, unmatted

Author: Riccardo Budini

This photo is part of a short series of rocky cliffs from places where I’ve spent time when I was a child. My parents were eccentric enough to make my sister and me live the marine wilderness in its fullness. I decided to visit these places again after 30 years, embarking myself, as a ritual, in a 30 day long, self supported travel by bike with the specific intent to reach these shores. I had great expectations of rediscovering ancestral, pleasing memories. However I actually did not recognize the majority of the spaces that were instead clearly nested into my memories. Eventually ruining them. I could only listen to feeble and intermittent messages coming from the rocks surrounding me in solitude. Their patterns evoked intense flashes of my infancy, but I was not able to recall a single, whole memory.

This print is UNMATTED and UNFRAMED, pictured with mat to illustrate size and suggest framing option.

Printed on Canson or Hahnemühle 300 gr/m2 paper.
