The
Story
This work is drawn to people and objects that endures haped by use, by the hands that hold them, and by the lives lived alongside them.
​
Loss clarifies that instinct. When people are gone, what remains are the things they lived with. A worn edge. A familiar weight. Objects hold memory without asking to be noticed.
The focus is permanence. Tradition, history, and the quiet rituals that form family and community. An interest in what gets passed down and what earns its place.
What’s here is meant to remain.
