All That We Hold Deeply Becomes a Part of Us is a quiet tribute to my mum’s love of organisation—a habit of storing everyday things in layers of boxes, tucked neatly into drawers and cupboards.

I re-created these boxes as small sculptures, suspended in time. Each one holds a trace of memory: some are lined with prints of my mum’s doilies, another made from one. Others contain hand written text, family photographs, the house I grew up in. Each box casts delicate shadows that stretch beyond utility, suggesting memory, absence, and quiet order.

This work is both a reconstruction and a reverence—each box holds a memory of care. A quiet kind of love, wrapped and contained.
