This intimate assemblage brings together layers of memory, legacy, and circuitry. A sepia-toned portrait of a mother and child rests in a gilded frame, nestled into a backdrop of vintage sheet music. Below, a circuit board and exposed watch mechanism suggest the encoding of sentiment into systems, and time into memory. Verdant preserved moss spills from the margins, bridging the organic and the engineered.
