Years ago I found a handmade dress from second-hand shop.
It fitted me perfectly. To whom this dress was made for?
What was the story of her life?
For me a piece of clothing represents its former wearer.
Someone was present while ago, but now she/he is gone.
The faded colours and tears in the fabric show the signs of the time passed.
The distinction between absence and presence is subtle. Riitta Päiväläinen

Riitta Päiväläinen I
"Some years ago I took images of frozen children clothes.
The words that I had in my mind during the process where:
Innocence
Fragility
Frozen versus movement
Absence and presence
Flickering memories
Play
I had almost forgotten the images.
Heavy thoughts of Ukraine and innocent children forced to leave their homes, brought these images back to my mind." "Once we all were children" Riitta Päiväläinen
