"As we perceive them, colors are embedded in our memory and, they might never even fade. For me, it is the thread that guides me back to remembering.
How I perceive the light or how the colors interact casually between them helps me pause and consciously want to remember the feeling I get from that instant, hoping I can reach it again in the future.
Memories bring back those moments when you paid more attention blocking anything else around and each holding a unique quality:
The colors and quality of light a memory holds give texture to it, and they remain as if suspended in time." - Raquel Bessudo
