“In this box/book I put what my realities are, bases for my paintings later to be made. Bits of fabrics, sheets, photographs, a palette, plastic lids, in short, a non-countable number of bright, colorful memories that shape my work. They are intimate objects. They are treasure boxes.”

— Sofia Areal
