We tend to want to hold on to memories, photographs are attempts to materialize such moments. They become symbols of our memories. What makes photography possible is light. By using light-sensitive photographs, the light simultaneously becomes a destructive element.
The brouch contanes such a lightsensitve Photograph. Every time the Brouch is opend the Picture darkens a little bit more until it has completly faded into a black square. The person in question is faced with the decision of looking at the photograph and risking its disappearance.
The necklacecaptures the phases of the disappearence.
