Souvenirs (Series) 2026  are part of a series of small wall-based pewter sandcasts incorporating twigs, found keyrings, chains, and everyday miniature objects. These items possess an almost surreal fascination, inviting contemplation of what traces of contemporary life may endure into the future as fragments of memory and evidence of past existence. Through the transformation of discarded everyday objects into enduring casts, Souvenir explores themes of time, loss, preservation, and the fragile relationship between nature and human history.

The pewter used in the work was sourced and melted down from old tankards and household items donated by friends and family.
