A house emptying out. Packing memories into cardboard boxes. Leaving silences where different sounds once dwelt. What do we choose to bring from the places that hold part of our childhood, like our grandparents' house?

Patrícia Sobreiro
In 2015, my family and I, like everyone else, went through this natural process one day.
My process, the invisible one, the one that only lives on the inside, was lessened or the pain faded because I took my camera with me. The act of photographing, even without creating staged shots or making very thoughtful framings, made me find visual poetry in place of pain or melancholy and accept the process.
This exhibition, like the film, the short documentary "The Window," which I made in 2019, are ways of slightly opening the door that was closed there in 2015, and sharing it with the outside world. Because we are all mirrors of each other.
