These images reflect on what we leave behind: objects that carry the quiet weight of memory, loss, and persistence. Using paper, digital photography, and encaustic, I transform remnants such as a child’s toy car found on the banks of a river after a flood or weathered street debris into meditative compositions, exploring impermanence, resilience, and the traces of human presence.
