“Immerse yourself in the landscapes of the Mondego where I came to live with my parents as a child, leaving behind Tokyo, where I was born. In reading letters exchanged with friends and family who stayed in Japan, I reflect on the coming to Portugal and I recall the past in an attempt to retain fleeting memory, a trip to the spirits who remain with me”.
