As a child, I was very proud to have my all four grandparents alive and even more that two of them were Maltese.
I gathered archival documents (1979-80); my childhood drawings, family photos taken in Malta, my voice at 5 years old recorded on K7. I combine them with my recent shots of the same playground in Santa Lucija.
A year when everything changed, I became a big sister and I was confronted for the first time with the death of a loved one, my nano, my grandfather.
