ABOUT THE PIECE:

With all that passed, I too passed. And memory makes no difference between what I saw and what I was.

The title of the piece is from a poem of one of Fernando Pessoa’s heteronyms (a fictive writer) Alberto Caeiro, a shepherd with “a worldview that premiered the immediate experience and rejected attempts to find an underlying truth or meaning in things”.
