Remained

​

Pewter, 37 x 28 x 17 cm

Aug 2026

​

​The work Remained resonates with an altar stone casted in pewter. The residue of consumption becomes a site of quiet transformation. It demands a careful looking. Each empty pocket holds a residue of medication once taken faithfully, each carries a whispered plea, and becomes a fossilised record of lived experiences that oscillate between the frequencies of science and faith, body and spirit, cure and ritual. The ephemeral form of empty blister packs is imbued with the value of permanence. By adapting this material translation, the work grants empty blister packs a kind of sacred dignity. This sculpture invites slow looking at what was emptied is now imbued with meaning and memory. It stands at the confluence of silent care and belief. In reframing the discarded as a site of devotional residue, the work asks What echoes reside in remains - the traces of pain or prayers?
