DescriptionONCE Series: Once upon a time recalls nostalgic items and issues. It references a time in our collective past that is impossible to recreate, but remains important to remember. Here, Belmar worked with themes of time, change and movement, sometimes ironically and humorously. "ONCE Music" is homage to Music – for Belmar, one of the most beautiful creations of all.
