"Perhaps there is no past or future. Only the perpetual present that contains this trinity of memory."
Patti Smith
The Letting Go discusses the impossibility of releasing our personal geographies — the trinity of time, memory and place that form our individual identities — while giving voice to the compellingly unattainable fantasy of fixing our complete personal history into one singular place. With the prevalence of individual migration, we carry the weight of our families, the geographies of our youth, our nationalities, ethnicities, and histories with us without the corresponding stability that a rooted multi-generational history might provide. In response to personal migrations and cultural shifts, Scacco strives to understand geographical markers and movements of her own history, and the corresponding emotional consequences of a life that feels lived in transit even when remaining in place.
