“A Rememberance Of Things Past” title of a book by Marcel Proust (À la Recherche du Temps Perdu}

I wanted to create a mysterious piece using a vintage image. The woman is from the Smithsonian’s Open Access program, the door is an image I photographed at the old Dixie Cup Plant, the clock on the floor I photographed at abandoned Tewksbury State Hospital in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. The castle in the background is from the Metropolitan Museum is a part of a Caspar Freidrich painting.

This particular piece took me a little over a month to produce with various versions. I finally settled on this one.
