This is a very early work further addressing the concept of record-keeping, journaling with materials, autobiography, Compression, distillation of experience, hinting at these by exposing interior layers.
The piece is composed of some of the clothes my mother made or purchased for me prior to my year as a student in Italy, that I wore there, and that returned with me. They retain something of my experience there. They are materially the same but different. Transformed -as I was- during that period of time.
