Remembrance is a memory lane than can bring about both hope and despair. It’s a good night’s sleep from when you were a kid and an ultimatum you are given as an adult. It’s the beauty in the voices and the magic in the lights, the stability of the steps and the fluffy wings of birds, the moist noise of the city centre and the humid harmony of the countryside. Remembrance is everywhere; in every breathing cell of your body, in the way you untangle your hair, in the order of a coffee, in a short walk. Remembrance is the formality between life and death, a statement that none of them is to spare us, but a promise of survival we each make solely. February 21 st 2016, Piraeus.
