This is an ongoing project started in 2023. Through this artwork, I express the nostalgic qualities of commodities that once belonged to people as part of their lives. I believe that these commodities are objects that provide people a certain purpose or meaning or simply joy in daily life. While people and society change, those commodities remain the same but are left behind and exist only in memories like an empty-shell. I strive to capture the fading relationship and emotional attachment people have with those possessions. The items are mainly selected from the period of my youth and each are molded in resin, placed in a blister clamshell package to recall when they were once on the shelf at the store as a commodity. This ongoing project touches on when these commodities were first encountered to bring into a part of your life to create memorable stories. The objects, displayed in a 5’ x 5’ wall installation, are represented in a minimalistic store display style to hint at and question the viewer’s “consumption of memories” in their lives.
On going Project “Exuvia of Possession”
