An evocative meditation on memory and legacy, Mindful brings together an antique tintype portrait of a young girl with a modern USB circuit board, nestled among preserved moss and embedded in a backdrop of sheet music. This juxtaposition of human history and digital technology underscores the tension between the ephemeral and the archived, the organic and the mechanical. A worn clock face and weathered gear suggest the silent passage of time, while the musical notation framing the piece whispers of emotional undercurrents long past. The interior space is a quiet vessel of reflection—on what we retain, what fades, and what evolves into something altogether new.
