We are Marcela Hoffer and Martina Charaf. We have been friends since we were orn. Our moms met when they started high school in Buenos Aires in 1948. They have been inseparable since then, for 75 years. Our collages explores that bond, their love and commitment for each other, and the transmission of such love to the next generation. We - like them - had been best friends, like sisters. We are interested in the constant, invisible material that keeps them (and us) unconditionally atached. Our moms created a network, full of love, that become a safe space for us and our own kids. What is that material made of? What is a sister, wheter biological or non-biological? We are very intrigued about the intergenerational transmission of this bond. Now our own childrens inherited the unconditional love of our mothers. All those questions inform our work. We want to honor their lives, we want to thanks them for who they are, "pearls" who are powerful, loving, resilient women who walked together almost all their lives, in the good and not so good times, but always loving, ready to give.
