Abolition of Slavery – Reunion Island

A line.
A body.

A memory that refuses to be silenced.

This drawing doesn't illustrate history.

It carries it.

In the tension of the gesture, in the persistent ink,

in this face that still watches.

To remember is not to look back.

It is to refuse to let oblivion prevail.
