Born of research in survivor archives at the Holocaust Centre North, the work reflects how trauma often survives in fragments and silences rather than grand narratives.

Archaeology of Absence is an installation of nine suspended porcelain slabs, pale architectural echoes of window frames that delineate space through voids rather than walls. Their dual surfaces carry contrasting memories: tiled backs recall the sterile rooms where lives were stripped of humanity, while fractured fronts bear handprints and scratches, fossil-like traces of resistance and entrapment. Clay here becomes skin, carrying memory that persists, quietly, in the back of the mind.
