Pamela Petro

    Pamela vo svojej tvorbe skúma témy ako Wales a fenomén absencie, pričom jej písanie často dopĺňa vizuálne umenie. Prostredníctvom svojich esejí a fotografií, kde zámerne pracuje s neostrosťou alebo tlačí snímky na kamene, skúma hlboké prepojenie medzi miestom a pamäťou. Jej literárny prístup sa vyznačuje osobitým štýlom, ktorý čitateľov vtiahne do prežitkov a reflexií nad stratou a prítomnosťou.
