PLACE-MAKING: HOLDING MEMORIES

This work reflects on the quiet and often unnoticed weights of the objects we leave behind. Furniture and household items that once filled a space are now sat on, leaned against, or simply exist in the background, absorbing the passing moments of life.

​

When these pieces are thrown out, it might feel easy to see them broken or unwanted. But they still carry with them the memories of what they once witnessed.

Photographing discarded furnitures, focusing on their worn textures and forgotten presence, pairing them with fragmented images of a sunset behind each panel. The sunset speaks about how memories attached to these objects deteriorate, becoming unclear and scattered yet still holding on to an odd sense of order.

​

The structure itself mirrors this tension, with pieces connecting and piercing through each other yet broken apart, creating the illusion of attachment even when nothing is really holding the items together.

Reflecting on how memories tie to things we once let go of but still linger around, fragmented but never gone.
