As I collected all the string stubs of my beheaded bass guitar strings as they broke, I named them and took their formal portrait. Following this same protocol each and every time, I always wondered who they really were as I didn't really have time to spend with them on a personal level. Did they have friends, a family, hobbies, ... This model lets me find that out, the portrait behind this little piece of metal that let me play and learn, that made our ears and our hearts vibrate.

Call me an animist, call these strings by their name and bring some poetry to their short existence: getting to discover the personality of a former bass string, their loves, their aspirations.
