This work consists of a book of short texts that investigates intimacy through the processes of memory and recollection. Using sexual encounters as a point of departure, the project shifts attention away from the event itself and toward the traces that remain: sensations, images, and seemingly incidental details that persist long after the experience has ended.

The texts draw from lived experience, oral accounts, and reconstructed memories, combining multiple sources into fragmentary narratives that reflect the unstable and selective nature of remembrance. Colour, scent, texture, and atmosphere become recurring elements through which the past continues to inhabit the present, revealing how the body retains impressions of desire, grief, shame, longing, and love.

By treating the body as a site of inscription and memory as an active process of transformation, the work examines how intimate experiences are continually reinterpreted over time. Neither documentary nor fictional in a conventional sense, the book uses writing as a method of observing how experience is condensed into language and how memory reshapes events into meaning.

Presented as an ongoing investigation into the relationship between body and memory, the work does not seek to define intimacy universally. Instead, it offers a partial and evolving study of the ways personal encounters are preserved, altered, and transmitted through recollection.
