This work is a part of the series about memory. It consists of 30 replicas of one photo portrait, printed on 6 different papers with shifts in colour.
The process of printmaking is interesting here: how much experiments/accidents it involves; how thin should paper be to expose 6 overlaid layers; are layers printed/disassembled in colours by chance or it's a precise artist's process; why was this photograph picked; who is the woman; how is the meaning of the work and deconstructed memory reflects her life?
This works takes the form of the memory, reflects it, shows how it fades and how the one portrait (person, event, etc.) could differ in details, though being the same in general and in the essence.
