Objects have the power to tell stories, often carrying quiet narratives that are passed down through generations. My work focuses on memory, family, and identity. I am interested in how the keepsakes and objects we hold close can serve as physical connections to the past. Through crochet and metalsmithing, I explore how making can become a form of remembrance, allowing me to slow down and reflect on moments that have shaped me. The photographs I use come from my personal archive and act as points of connection, linking materials, color, and icons to my memories.
I am drawn to the ways these objects create layered narratives that tell personal stories to be passed down, reinterpreted, and added to over time. Through my work, I question what parts of memory fade and what endures, and how tangible materials can preserve and narrate fragments that become lost over time. Together, these elements form small monuments of personal history, preserving the people, places, and experiences that continue to influence who I am.
