Variable Capacitor reimagines an antique tuning component as the heart of a mechanical narrative. Centered within layered map fragments and a textured shadow-box field, the vintage capacitor coil becomes both artifact and anchor—its worn plates recalling the precise incremental adjustments it once made. Surrounding it, scattered brass gears and clockwork pieces drift like loose measurements of time, emphasizing the quiet dialogue between navigation, signal, and memory.
