About the process: 

Giulia Cosenza: 'As I immersed myself in the personal feelings and memories Pauline shared, my hands shaped the clay, following intuition and touch. Each piece is as if carved out of a block, "sculpted" by my hands. My mind worked with three main principles: creating a collective landscape of sculptural shapes, a city-scape so to say; working with volumes and voids, sculpting light & shadow like buildings do in a city; placing the memories on a “pedestal": each piece is elevated, as the ultimate city souvenir but in an abstract way. I like to think that I turned Pauline's memories into "landmarks of the mind".' Read the full story here
