This aquatint is inspired by Swann's Way by Marcel Proust, focusing on the madeleine moment as an exploration of how memory can emerge unexpectedly through the senses. The image begins with a simple, familiar scene, a teacup resting on a table, before opening into something less defined. From the cup, linden tea steam rises and gradually transforms into a layered flow of forms, suggesting memories as they surface, shift, and dissolve.

Displayed alongside this work, a series of small watercolour paintings extends this idea in a more immediate and fragmentary way. While the aquatint holds a sense of depth and atmosphere, the watercolours capture lighter, more fleeting impressions, like passing glimpses of memory.

Together, the works reflect on the experience of remembering itself, where something as ordinary as taste or smell can suddenly bring the past into the present, if only for a moment.
