Sketches for a book of weather phenomena that have no English equivalent -- the rain that falls from a clear sky, the wind that turns the leaves upside-down. Each entry paired with a hand-drawn kura door.
Literature
A brass instrument that trembles slightly when pointed toward people or places you've made commitments to and broken.
Objects
Maps of waterways erased by drought, dams, or simple forgetting. Each dried river bed illustrated with careful line-work, the channels empty but still visible, like the ghost of water. Locked with ornate padlock imagery.
Geography
Sheet music for songs that were composed, recorded once, then erased from every database and hard drive. Only the structure remains -- the mathematical form of the music without its sound.
Music
A collection of 47 letters written but never sent, each sealed in aged envelope paper, arranged chronologically. The contents remain private -- even in the archive.
Correspondence
Sketches for an botanical project that would have grown rare plants in an abandoned greenhouse, each with a label in the artist's handwriting. Plans, seed catalogs, and vine reclamation studies.
Nature
Documentation attempts for dialects that existed only in the speech of 2-3 elders, collected before the opportunity was lost. Phonetic notes, grammatical sketches, translated proverbs that survived.
Linguistics
A series of images imagined from written dream journals -- what if you could photograph the feeling of falling, the texture of childhood homes seen through water?
Imagery
A cookbook of dishes imagined but never tasted -- instructions for preparing meals from lost culinary traditions, fictional cultures, and the gaps between memory and reality. Illustrated with careful line drawings of kura storage containers.
Culinary
Building designs for cities that exist only in literature, fever dreams, and the spaces between map margins. Floor plans, elevation drawings, construction notes for places that can never be built.
Architecture
Detailed botanical and zoological illustrations of species that are now gone, paired with poems written in their honor, arranged in a cabinet of curiosities.
