Perpetual memories

Time, stone, flowers, and memories are all intertwined in a delicate dance of life and death. Together they create a powerful narrative of the passage of time, the impermanence and fragility of life.
Time is an ever-present force, a reminder that all things change and that nothing is permanent. It is a concept that is both abstract and tangible, influencing the way we perceive and experience the world around us.
Memories, on the other hand, are a subjective and fluid concept, shaped by our experiences and emotions.
In this work, I seek to explore the complexities of time and memory, using a visual narrative that is both deeply personal and universal.
I am particularly interested in the way that memories can change and evolve over time, how they can become distorted, or how they can be lost entirely.

Review by Steve Bisson - Urbanautica

"The series invites reflection on the existence of memory. Or better than remembering. Memorizing is a gift that animals also partly have; remembering is something else, as the word itself teaches; it brings a feeling back to the heart. The series evokes this power of the human being to actualize experience (past), or more lyrically, somehow, to evoke it. Photography is a medium and, eventually, a support for remembering. An extension of this faculty, the author uses it, particularly in places where memory is exercised, like a cemetery. Memory here evokes death and decay, one of nature's few certainties. In this intersection between inexorable nature and the tragic need to remember, Filipe Bianchi's vision takes shape. But nothing truly remains; everything transforms, gives way, and memory slowly dissolves like a perfume in the air. It fades slowly. It migrates in the great flow of lives, in the constant metamorphosis of being. It can be digested and embodied and survive in the myth of continuous becoming, of the so-called future, and fuels the dream of an origin and a time like a conveyor belt flowing towards infinity."
