This body of work examines the residue of systems that measure, medicate, and monetize human experience. Watches, prescription materials, and instruments of transaction are dismantled, melted, and reassembled—removed from their original function and forced into new form.
Across the series, objects designed to regulate time, assign value, and authorize treatment are rendered inoperative. What once recorded, prescribed, or extracted is no longer compliant. Under heat and pressure, systems soften. Structures stall. Language accumulates into bodies.
What remains is evidence—and reclamation. The materials carry the imprint of use, but their function has shifted. No longer consumable, they are made visible, fixed in place, and made permanent.
Once designed to perform and hold music, these materials are stripped of their original purpose and reconfigured as sculptural material.
What once created and carried sound now holds form, inviting reflection on memory, nostalgia, and the physical traces left behind by the instruments and media that once held it.
Originally built to display clothing, these forms are repurposed to explore imitation, absence, and the strange familiarity of the human shape when removed from life.
