Notebooks of wonder

For years, I have always carried a notebook with me. In it, I record what moves me in language as it appears in everyday life: phrases, fragments, words, and thoughts. I came to call these notebooks notebooks of wonder.

At the same time, my photographic practice was oriented toward what moved me in seeing. A need then emerged to bring these two forms of recording together: to place word and image in relation, to allow them to enter into dialogue. It was through this process that I began to work with the photographic image as a support for writing.

In this way, the photographic image becomes inscribed not only with text, but also with the passage of time itself, turning into a record of an unfolding temporality. Within this ever-fleeting temporality, embroidery appears not as a decorative gesture, but as a way of extending the moment. While I write, while I embroider, the moment endures.
