Stephanie Lee  – Cartografía del olvido

About the piece

Those of us who were are not the ones who are here today. Who and who are we? Are we really what we want to be or what they told us we were?

Those that are breeze, ether and silence. Muffled screams in a dark room.

How do you deal with memory loss? Where the path to oblivion begins, that first step into the jungle that devours everything.

How do I manifest something so strong but that I don’t even remember and re-imagine it?

A blurred memory, like a perfume that is lost on me, fragile and I struggle to follow its trail. It’s like trying to remember the face of someone I saw in a dream. I have the generals but not the details and the more I struggle the more I lose myself in the general. How do you look for something that feels close and you don’t have?

 As I do not forget those who are no longer a body, those who forgot their names, those who were swallowed by the earth and transformed into a murmur that tells me of a time that I have not lived, but I remember.
