Mnemosys was born out of a residency at the Cadaqués Festival in Spain; it is a meditation on place, memory, and the porous boundary between fact and fiction. Cadaqués, long associated with Salvador Dalí and his wife Gala, provided the perfect backdrop for Muller’s exploration of surrealistic storytelling. The stones of its coastline, the shifting hues of its sunsets, and the omnipresent sea that Dalí so often captured - each of these became a kind of visual lexicon in Muller’s work. Her collages are layered with elements from Dalí’s paintings, yet they remain distinctly her own: a dialogue with an artist’s legacy rather than a replication of it.
The project takes its title, Mnemosys, from the Greek goddess of memory, a fitting allusion for a body of work that so deftly blends archival material and personal interpretation. Just as Dalí wove autobiographical truth with flights of surreazlist fancy, Muller crafts collages that blur the lines between historical record and artistic invention. The result is a collection of images that feel at once grounded in reality and untethered from it.
