2025 - 3d collage - 89w × 90.5h x 4.5d cm - printed-paper and cardboard - framed and ready to hang

In this new series, the focus remains on TIME and its quiet but relentless influence on MEMORY and IDENTITY — but here, the exploration deepens into how fragments of the past are reconstructed, reimagined, and sometimes distorted in the present.

These works continue to draw on the visual language of historical still life painting — symbols of beauty, fragility, and impermanence — but reframe them through the contemporary technique of 3D collage using origami. Layers of folded paper evoke the way memory itself is layered: delicate, unstable, and subject to change.

Significantly, these pieces are created using repurposed paper sourced from old magazines — a material already marked by its own past life. This choice not only reinforces the theme of transformation and impermanence but also invites reflection on sustainability, consumption, and the afterlife of materials in a world of excess.

As the viewer moves around each piece, colours shift, forms fragment, and familiar images dissolve — echoing how our memories fade, overlap, or are reshaped over time. What remains is not a perfect record, but a fragile and personal reconstruction of what once was.

By isolating and reinterpreting details from 17th-century Flemish still lifes — artworks already meditating on the fleeting nature of life — this series suggests that the past is never fixed. It is always in motion, just like our identity, forever caught in the fluid space between remembering and forgetting.
