Experiencing Interruptions?

Memories of an Eternal Flower

From an early age, I documented conversations and moments with my grandmother María Luisa. After she turned 100 and departed this world, I decided to explore the lost fragments of her story. Using Artificial Intelligence and archival material to weave together the memories of what I believe was her life in her youth, exploring generational memory as an act of healing in the face of loss.
