We have known, worked, and talked with many people over the course of our lives. We have formed personal relationships that no longer exist; We carry memories that linger. I believe, for the most part, the experiences we gained from these relationships shape not only who we are, but also most of what we do. “Encapsulated Memories” speaks to my daily challenges of reliving these hurtful, respectful, and joyful memories in life.

Physically manipulate existing photographs and notes from my diary were pushed into small 3d printed translucent cubes via the slit on top to create new disrupted, evolved, altered, or transformed memories. Empty cubes and cubes with confined objects from my past relationships are also added to be placed on top of 4 black boxes, each holding 49 self-illuminated cubes of my memories
