This work transforms the humble domestic object into a quiet reliquary, where nested wooden circles cradle hand-painted figures like memories preserved inside a vessel. The warm, honeyed grain and carved motifs lend a tactile intimacy, while the cool blues and violets of the portraiture introduce a contemplative hush—an emotional counterpoint that pulls the eye inward. By repeating the image across lid and interior, the piece suggests a cyclical narrative of care and return, as though tenderness itself is being stored, protected, and reopened in time.
