Soft whites, muted grays, indigos, and gentle neutrals build a surface that feels both ancient and freshly revealed — a landscape of memory, fiber, and language. Text peeks through the layered pulp in scattered fragments, offering glimpses of letters and partial words like thoughts resurfacing, or history catching light for just a moment. A structured grid floats above the organic texture, formed of reclaimed velvet and fiber fragments — grounding the piece while leaving room for breath, mystery, and quiet movement.

Echoes of the Whole holds the tenderness of remembering — and the beauty in what remains when pieces are carried forward instead of erased.

This work begins with a base of layered tissue and dyed cheesecloth, creating a soft, almost luminous foundation. Over time, papers, book pages, and reclaimed fibers are broken down by hand into a sculptural pulp — yet here, unlike other works in the collection, the fragments are left more intact. Threads remain visible. Paper fibers hold shape. Bits of text stay legible in tiny intervals, offering the hint of a voice from before.

Across this textured terrain, a quiet grid emerges — made of reclaimed velvet and fabric elements. It calls to balance, structure, and connection, as if gently tying the fragments together without containing them. The whole composition becomes a harmony of held-together pieces, each part important, each fragment belonging.

Both delicate and grounded, this piece honors the truth that we are shaped by what came before — not in full sentences, but in echoes, textures, feelings, and fragments that form a whole when held with care.

One of my most personal favorites from this series — tender, textured, and deeply rooted in becoming.
