Notes

"By engaging with objects as symbols of personal memory and exploring their transformation into souvenirs, I hope to navigate the tension between digital saturation and the quest for authentic presence. Through this exploration, I seek to articulate a radical act of hope—one that envisions a return to a more meaningful and present way of 'being' amidst the chaos of modern existence. My work becomes a reflection on the absurdity of the present, a rebellion against the superficiality of digital life, and a testament to the enduring search for significance in a world that often seems indifferent."¹
