Still Standing is a towering sculpture composed of stacked wooden pallets, rising approximately seven feet high. Nestled within its structure are family photos and personal objects—fragments of daily life and memory—accompanied by a layered soundscape that emanates from within. The piece evokes the endurance of diasporic and familial histories, standing as a monument to survival, inherited weight, and the quiet strength it takes to hold everything together. Through its industrial materiality and intimate contents, Still Standing blurs the line between structure and story, asking: What holds us up? And at what cost?
