EXERCISES IN RECONSTRUCTION (2025)

We build an affective archive from pieces we’re not sure even belong together.
Sometimes, remembering is an act of invention.

This project takes the form of an open-ended, collaborative puzzle.
There is no image to follow, no predefined structure, and no promise of completion.

We remember in pieces:
stories interrupted, details blurred, gestures recalled without context.
There are things we’ve been told, things we imagine, and things we’ve absorbed without knowing how.

The puzzle becomes a site for affective archaeology; a process of uncovering emotional residues rather than objective truths.
 

​

​

Each new contribution to the puzzle overlays or disrupts what came before.
The archive grows—not toward clarity, but toward complexity.

​

It is an exercise in surrendering to the unstable, the partial, the invented.
It is an invitation to reconfigure what memory can be;
 

Because sometimes, what we invent
is just as necessary
as what we remember.
