Research; Chema Madoz

Whilst looking at Chema's work, I found the way she presented different objects whilst revealing something else at the same time really interesting. A simple object(s) that reveals a connotation, a deeper meaning, thought or story.
For instance;

This match stick which had been precisely positioned on a piece, or block of wood. This wood has a pattern which looks like a flame. The way the match stick is positioned it looks as if the match is alight.

This also has a connotation of burning. - We strike a match for a flame, we burn wood... Etc.

This photograph may represent a time of death, due to a clock being presented on a coffin. This could be a time of death of a loved one, that Chema herself may not be able to forget. The time may be a constant reminder.

Or, this image may symbolize the fact that at some time in our life we will all die.

The simplicity of this image, may stand for the fact that once we die we're on our own. The way in which the coffin stands out at the top but at the bottom of the photo, the coffin blends into the wall may be showing that once we die, we're only a part of peoples memories. The rest is gone.
