This sculpture carries the story of missing moments and memories depicted symbolically as holes inside a human figure. Fragments and traces of experiences that defined a particular time of our life, are left behind us, in different places and locations. They are still alive but hidden inside us, resurfacing at time, to propel the missing story forward. They represent the fragile human condition that, despite challenges remain strong resilient and even defiant.
