Anne Veraldi‘s photographs are a selection from her Outside-In Series”, which depict both found and remnant artifacts encapsulated within the iconic mason jar, as a way of preserving wistful memories from the past. “These photos are time capsules”, she said.

Anne Veraldi  “Buttermilk”, edition of 5

The vignette background presents the atmosphere cosmic-like space. In these glass jars, toys from her childhood remind us of our past memories and the object which she newly created make us feel daydream and fantasy which we had before.

Anne Veraldi  “Who?”, edition of 5

In the photo, tangible memories in the glass jars seem to be left alone in the space, like specimens.  Memories and longings are able to be shred and sympathized without being shaped. However once those become tangible, these are physically separated and isolated.

If you see the photo of ladder and ships which jump out from the jar, you must be feeling as if a piece of memory tries escaping from there.
