“LIKE TEARS” is a piece of art inspired by the famous idiomatic phrase spoken by the replicant Roy Batty in the legendary film Blade Runner, which refers to the ephemeral nature of existence and the importance of preserving the most significant moments of our lives. The deep connection between my artistic research and literature is evident in my admiration for Marcel Proust, whose novel "In Search of Lost Time" has influenced me in my exploration of the past through objects and sensations.
Everyday objects imbued with emotional memories form the fabric of each individual's life and play a crucial role in artistic expression. Through these memory artifacts, we can evoke dormant emotions and embrace our inner child. The union of Jonny Boy with memory objects offers a nostalgic and metamorphic experience that represents an invitation to reflection.
