Remnants
Discarded moments, each representing previous reflections. This work seeks to uncover the complexities of emotions that arise within a fictional romantic relationship.
Mother
A tribute to a moment of tenderness. Featuring my mother’s pearl necklace, along with earrings, a ring, and Sidia's Soaked Solid Perfume compact. Each piece acting as a small relic of warmth, nostalgia, and the quiet way a mother’s love embraces and endures.
No longer my colors
These expired lipsticks once a part of my daily routine have been kept long after I stopped using them. They serve as relics of a past self, representing how we hold on to things that no longer serve us. Through these objects, I explore memory, identity, and the quiet persistence of who I used to be.
Some Day
A milk glass catchall and a sterling silver bracelet I never wore. A candle I lit for the first time after a few years of collecting dust. A pile of magazines I have yet to read, I only look at the pictures. I collect things impulsively or receive them with care, then let them sit unused. I tell myself I'll eventually use them or wear them. A lie until it isn't. In my still life, they become records of what I can't quite let go of.
Jabon
Jabon Zote, a laundry soap deeply rooted in the Latino community and developed in Mexico, is an iconic object to me. It evokes memories of my childhood home, where it was always present in our laundry room. This piece explores the quiet familiarity and cultural significance of everyday objects, showing how something seemingly ordinary can carry deep personal and communal meaning.
