“Time is considered a social and mental construct used to organize human experience, create order, and manage life, rather than an objective, fundamental reality.

While the physical universe involves change, the division into hours, seconds, and linear progression is a human-made framework for understanding existence.” 

Since 2010, the focus of my work has been collecting timestamps—fleeting marks, objects, or images that can feel insignificant on their own, yet when collected in volume they create a physical record of occupied moments. Each mark or image serves as a coordinate on an otherwise fleeting, fragile timeline.

It has become common practice for me to revisit these timestamps and projects as a retrospective process that lays the project to rest. By reengaging with these marks, objects, and images, I am able to contextualize them as a lived archive--reframing them as distinct elements of the past, having once been a vestige of the present.
