This work questions what it means to hold oneself together through layered time—what softens, what endures, and how materials, like memory or identity, are reshaped by the forces that surround them. The salvaged textiles speak to histories of use and care, while the ceramics offer both structural presence and subtle fragility. Together, they form a vertical body that will shift aesthetically through weather, sun, rain, and decay. The textiles will fray and bleach; the clay may stain or crack; the steel will rust—all changes welcomed as part of the sculpture’s living evolution.
