Objects: Past, Present, Future is a conceptual exploration of the shifting emotional resonance of everyday objects. Through moulding and casting, a book, laptop, and phone are transformed into representations of monumentality, dependency, and uncertainty. Using plaster, silicone, and transparent resin, each material captures a distinct emotional stage, with plaster evoking permanence, silicone symbolising reliance, and resin suggesting ambiguity. This series challenges viewers to reflect on their evolving relationship with objects, questioning how materiality influences memory and attachment in an age of rapid technological change.
