Description from the seller
Morphology of Forgetting explores the fragile relationship between memory and oblivion through an image with a silent, symbolic, and deeply pictorial atmosphere.
The female figure, with a gaze between distance and melancholy, appears surrounded by poppies, flowers traditionally linked to dream, forgetting, and the threshold between life and death. The work addresses how memories linger within us: not always as sharp images, but as latent presences that reappear in unexpected ways.
Inspired by Flemish iconography and painting tradition, the photograph builds a suspended, almost ritual scene. The wardrobe, lighting, and composition reference classical painting, reinterpreted from a contemporary photographic perspective in which the symbol takes center stage in the image.
More than representing a concrete story, the work suggests an emotional state. Memory appears here not as an archive, but as an inner landscape: a territory where what we thought forgotten continues to bloom, even if only in the shade.
Limited edition: 1/3
Photography dimensions: 100 × 67 cm
Dimensions with frame: 123 x 91.5 x 3 cm
The work comes framed, with passe-partout and museum glass, ready for exhibition.
A large-format piece belonging to a particularly reduced edition.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE WORK
Work with frame and museum glass. The frame can be changed without problems and the glass as well.
Technique and paper: Printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta paper with a super-brilliant finish.
It is delivered signed and numbered, as well as with a certificate of authenticity.
Shipping with insurance and professional packing to protect the work from potential risks during transport.
Includes cotton gloves for handling the work and a signed postcard with a personal note from the author.
This work has been exhibited in Vienna, so on the back there are marks of the hooks used to hang it and it has a small dent on one part of the frame as can be seen in one of the detail images. Nevertheless, the work is in perfect condition.
The value of the work takes into account the value of the frame and the glass.

Seller's Story
Lídia Vives is a visual artist and fine art photographer in Barcelona. Her work draws from pictorial tradition, symbolic storytelling and contemporary fashion aesthetics, creating carefully constructed images that go beyond surface beauty to reveal hidden layers of meaning.
She is known for embedding subtle narrative details and recurring symbolic elements within her photographs, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with the image beyond its first reading. These visual cues have become a distinctive part of her artistic language.
Influenced by Renaissance and Baroque painting, Vives balances the timeless and the surreal, often working with staged environments, custom-made props and self-portraiture. Her practice combines meticulous art direction with a strong sense of atmosphere and visual cohesion.
Alongside her personal artistic work, she collaborates with brands, media and institutions on editorial, cultural and commercial projects, always maintaining a concept-driven approach and a consistent visual identity.
Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and international art fairs, and featured in publications such as Esquire. She has collaborated with institutions and brands including RTVE and Penguin Random House, and her works are held in private collections worldwide
