The pictures stretch across four generations of her family: from the time before she was born to the present moment. The photograph is assumed to freeze time, to immobilise one moment from the flow of history. In Strba's work, conversely, there is an overwhelming sense of connection between the past and present. The slow duration of time and history is expressed metaphorically through the continuity of her family across generations. Strba's composition in this publication of 290 photographs confronts the intimacy of private life, something real and nostalgic. Filled with love, happiness and melancholy, her eyes are so powerful yet soft at the same time.
