“As time goes by, memories drift into your head. All the things that are lost and gone…The dust of time covers up the memories of everything. In Aripeka there’s buried treasure, bones, and Spanish armor; old, archaic things, but nobody knows exactly where they are—those things get lost with time.”
—James Rosenquist
