MAMI
BY SEIGAR
This collage series is my tribute to the most beautiful soul I have ever known: mi Mami. She taught me the two most important things in life: to love and to enjoy. She was always full of happiness and energy. She was also unique and strong. And she would be glad if I say she was quite pretty, feminine, and chic. She keeps on being the most generous and powerful person I have met, and the one that has influenced and inspired me the most. During the work process, I felt both inspired and calm, like I totally made peace with her goodbye. I'm sure you are still smiling wherever you are. This is my little present from the earth and from my heart. Love you Mami.
