"The past was her best friend" , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 88 x 66 cm

When time escapes like sand through the fingers and our memory becomes tired and lazy, we recognize we are at war. We are at war with forgetfulness. If we consider the past as a paramount friend and we have cultivated a long term remembrance wisely and sensibly, waging war against amnesia is unavoidable.

Recollection builds up our personality. Our individuality is based on all the little pieces we assembled in the past.

Phenomenon: The past

Factual starting point: Woman from aside
