Nita My Love' is part of the series ‘Traces into the Unknown’ in which Mo investigates the traces of love left behind after losing the love of her life. As memories are slowly changing and or fading, Mo starts digging in her archive of images trying to understand and visualize how feelings of love can still be so incredible strong, overwhelming and vivid, even without the physical presence of her love Nita. Trying to find new balance and coping with the loss, she knows that working in the darkroom will help to clear her mind and bring back sparks of beauty in her life.
