Oblivion

What if it were better for man to forget rather than remember? 

I was in Cambodia, a long journey up the Mekong, searching for oblivion as salvation. The banks of the great river, the dry season of spring, light and luminous notes of Helichrysum, Frankincense, and Orange, open this flow, in a golden river, a luminous labyrinth of the soul. The sound of drums in the night, drowning out the silence in the temple, is the dawn of a new day. Oblivion recounts the journey of man in search of oblivion, with Tiziano Terzani as my spiritual and literary guide. An invitation to travel, an ever-tightening bond for me with the East. Memory flowed slowly, among the vegetal and smoky notes of Mate Tobacco, the welcoming Iris speaks to the soul, now we are in the heart of Oblivion. As the long journey draws to a close, the soft woody notes of Sandalwood and Palo Santo bring us back to the depths of balance. Only sunset is missing to define the end, but oblivion lingers, like an eternal scent, like dust in ancient temples. A scent that doesn't just tell the story of a journey, but celebrates a close bond between memory and forgetfulness. Oblivion is a spiral of stillness.
