“Some Things to Remember” is an exploration of intentional memory keeping in the context of migration and the desire for belonging in foreign lands. Inspired by the Proust effect, each sculpture represents the embodiment and shorthand icon for a specific memory of a particular taste or smell intertwined with people, places and moments: grandma’s whipped cream frosting; fruit worth getting hurt for; the national delicacy of an unwelcoming country; a tomato pregnancy craving; the repetitive, often uninspired meals cooked for the family. 
Crafted from ceramic and bioplastic, the wall sculptures, most of them human size, are glazed in vibrant primary colors and embellished with gilded motifs of cryptic lines and trimmings. The shapes were created through a sustained art journaling practice from the past few years and become script-like, with some of the pieces coalescing into installations that mimic lines and sentences. This fabricated language reflects a reluctance to reveal too much, part remnant of the culture of silence in a former communist country, part intentional rejection of the pervasive over-sharing brought about by our social media habits.  
When they are uncovered though, the anecdotes and stories that the pieces represent resonate with universal experiences, fostering a sense of connection and self-awareness.
