ANTONIO MORA EMOTIONAL TERRITORIES
Some experiences change shape each time we try to remember them. EMOTIONAL TERRITORIES follows those changes through a continuing dialogue between image and language. Each chapter brings together four works and a short literary text, exploring memory, desire, loss, and the unstable boundaries of who we are.
CHAPTER 01
A BODY OF WATER
The sea remembers something that has not yet happened to me.
At night, it brings back the voices of those I have loved, mingled with others I have yet to meet. Among them, I recognise a breath in the darkness, the brief sound of a closing door, a sentence I never knew how to answer.
It also brings a joy that arrives too late, a loss that comes too soon, the trembling of a hand I have not yet let go.
No one decides what memory preserves. Nor does the tide choose what it leaves upon the sand.
I approach the shore. Beneath the water, all my ages merge, the faces I have worn and those I will one day wear.
Some days I return in search of a sign. I am more afraid of finding it than of coming back empty-handed.
For somewhere, on the other side of my own life, someone is still waiting for me.
And I begin to suspect it is me.
