What do I keep from the places that I hold dear? 


Components is concerned with places from memory,
morphed by time, bias, trauma, and nostalgia. In this
project, I use the unreliability of my memory to create
artifacts based on places from my life. Through 
sculpture, I experiment with decontextualizing domestic 
and architectural elements,highlighting the way my 
memory immortalizes these objects,and in turn,the places 
from which they were harvested.



    
	
				The first part of this work was ceramic breezeblocks. Usually seen in dozens scaling the side of a building,
each of these breezeblocks is instead one of a kind, the different patterns borrowing from traditional bricks,
spacial ornaments, as well as abstract and nostalgic icons. In their singularity as well as their design,they
shed their accuracy and functionality and instead become ghostly representations of themselves.
