Where the Sea Ends
Lotta Books — 2026
Where the Sea Ends is a journey in search of my brother’s world, a dimension lost in space and suspended in a time that slips between past and present, opening cracks in the mind.
Memories appear as flashes of light cutting through the darkness of a reluctant, sluggish memory, clouded by the trauma of death.
A blurred face is all that remains, settled within a void that now surrounds me, making it impossible to reconstruct clear scenes in which I can picture myself.
What remains are fleeting visions, marked by a few photographs: the light captured on photographic film is all that is left of his gaze, his trace in a world that no longer belongs to him.
A space surrounded by the sea is where memories are kept, suspended in a time that has run aground and sunk into the depths of the island where we grew up.
