At the center of the installation, this wall based ceramic work functions as a psychological landscape shaped by memory and lived experience. Constructed from ceramic, wax, paint, yarn ash, and photographic transparencies, the piece brings together fragments of trees, a landscape, floral imagery, an eye, and parts of the body. These elements appear through small illuminated openings, suggesting moments that surface from the subconscious rather than a linear narrative. The work does not attempt to illustrate memory directly, but instead proposes it as something layered, partial, and continually reshaped over time.

 

The form itself reads as both structure and body. Its dark, irregular surface carries the weight of accumulation, while light emerging from within signals an interior world that remains active and unresolved. A narrow stair moves upward toward one lit window, introducing a sense of searching or progression. Small figures placed within the openings reinforce a shifting scale, positioning the viewer between observer and participant inside a private terrain.

​

Conceptually, the piece examines how childhood experience becomes embedded within the body and mind, shaping perception long after the original moments have passed. Rather than presenting nostalgia, it acknowledges memory as a complex and sometimes unstable map. By bringing interior images into view, the work creates a space where personal history is neither fixed nor fully knowable, inviting viewers to consider how early impressions continue to inform identity and emotional life.
