Collected by the Shore layers coastal artifacts—shells, metalwork, and printed ephemera—into a shallow box composition that reads like a fragment of shoreline memory. Musical notation, geological imagery, and tactile objects coexist in quiet tension, suggesting rhythms shaped by tide, time, and human presence. The work balances order and erosion, inviting the viewer to read the surface as both archive and landscape.
