My motivation for this piece comes from reflection over grief, loss and memory. The
first time I experienced loss it was someone that was very close to me and it also
happened suddenly and in a dramatic way. So because of this I thought very much
about this person and the memories I had of her. Later, as time passed on I noticed
that my memories had started to fade away and that made me upset. It felt unfair
that I should continue to lose more of this person. However, as more time went by, I
felt that the memory still had a strong presence in my mind even though it had
become more fragmented and some things were not as clear anymore. And I
accepted it. It was still there. So I wanted to make something that was obviously
worn down, deteriorated and fragmented but you still could fill out the gaps and with
the right point of view make the pisces fit together.
