Artist Statement - "Beloved"

I wish I’d been able to meet Gaetane (or “Tana”, her nickname) Scouras. Tana was a complex, original and powerful individual. She was an inventor, an executive, an entrepreneur and an animal lover. She was fiercely devoted to work and family. 

However, with this project, I’ve had the privilege to get to know and film her loving widow, Deidra Witschorke. We’ve met on several occasions over almost two years. Deidra has shared so much with me about her beloved Tana. 

I hope this brief piece will hint at the depth of their passion for each other. 

Special thanks to Tom Johnson for introducing me to Deidra. - Roberto
