This collection emerged from an archive of images, objects, and observations gathered over years: a shell kept in a pocket, a screw from my grandmother’s toolbox, trees moving in the wind along a familiar cycling route. Built from fragments of everyday life, the collection brings together objects that carry traces of attachment, repetition, and memory. Things are kept without always knowing why; they are held onto because they contain a certain feeling, familiarity, or a presence. Each element reflects a relationship: to a person, a place, a routine, or a passing moment. Together, they form a visual language shaped by intimacy, observation, and the quiet act of collecting what would otherwise disappear. The work explores how ordinary objects can hold emotional weight far beyond their physical form. Through marks of use, memory, and personal history, the collection makes the invisible things we carry visible. Between archive and intuition, a world emerges in which remembrance lives within objects, and small, often overlooked details become vessels for identity, connection, and care.
