Unrelented

I examined the anchors, which I understand as unconventional sanctuaries for the deceased that people create out of our own need to face and overcome death. I was not interested in the story of the deceased, nor the story of the people who erected the shrine. I was interested in the bond created between the dead, the living and the anchor, which is like a chain that holds all actors together and does not let them go. There are no people in the photos (unless the motif requires it), because, as I mentioned earlier, I was not interested in the people involved, but solely objects that create magnetism between the living and the dead. Relatives of the deceased, by constantly awakening the memory of tragic events, remain trapped in a cycle of suffering. They themselves become the first unrelented, created anchor holding them in the loop. Deceased, when their story is put on display, even if in a very intimate manner, become the other unrelented. The memory of their tragic story always recreates the reality in which it unfolded, and in this way, they remain hooked to the created anchor. The bond that bounds together the mourners, deceased and the anchor creates the focal point of this series.
