Mindful
10” x 8” x2.5”
In Mindful, technology, memory, and biology converge. A sepia-toned girl peers out from her gilded frame beside digital circuits and the hush of moss, all laid against a background of silent sheet music. This piece invites us to ask what gets preserved—and what disappears—when memory becomes data.

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.
