The stretched cotton canvases depict images from Angelista's family archive. Constructed from residual ink, the same image of the banana tree in her grandmother’s garden returns like an echo in each diptych. These pigment traces symbolize remnants of memories from her second homeland. Through experimental graphic printing techniques, Angelista explores these moments of transition: between return and departure, between what has been and what is no longer.
