Recalled presents sculptural imprints of empty blister packs which engages with the idea of ontological weight that even after the function of blister packs ends, their form accumulates meaning and memory across time. The work focuses on empty blister packs that quietly accompany moments of illness, recovery, protection, and hope similar to ritualised experience that unfold within the intimate sphere of everyday life yet touch universal questions of belonging and beliefs.

​

The act of casting these objects in brass, a material historically used for devotional artefacts and ritual implements repositions the blister pack as a kind of contemporary relic. Not a relic of sanctity, but of survival. Each imprint captures the contours of lived, much like a fossil preserves the void left by something once alive. It becomes a material residue of being holding the weight not of the pill, but of the decision to take it and the continuities of care it implies. Here, the emptiness of the blister pack becomes fullness, presence. Ultimately, Recalled is not just a material transformation, but a philosophical one. It reimagines waste as witness, fragility as form, and disposability as deeply loaded with ontological consequence. These small objects - now heavy, marked, and permanent - ask us to reconsider what we overlook, and what we carry even after it’s gone.
