Mundane moments unknowingly becoming core memories. Walking along the lake with mom, playing with crawfish behind dad’s restaurant, and long talks in the sauna with my brother. Quiet moments like these are depicted in small objects tenderly built from clay. Mental echoes, fragmented and distilled into totemic reminders.
