Voka is tied to my childhood — visits to my great aunt, prefabricated buildings, sandpits, climbing frames, chamomile picking, waffles shaped like walnuts. Returning there as an adult, forgotten memories resurfaced at familiar sites, each visit unearthing something new.
The clay sculptures recall playing at the beach, where raw, unyielding clay slowly softened with touch, only to harden and crumble again — much like memory itself.
