MEMORABILIA

TIMES ART MUSEUM, BEIJING + CHENGDU, CHINA (2023)

Memorabilia is a reflection on the observations made during Remember Me, a time-based digital installation centered on the life cycle of a single tulip from Birth, Life, Afterlife, to Memory. In that work, meaning emerged through shared experience rather than exclusivity; within its structure, no single image held prestige over another, and its disappearance became a collective loss. Though the artworks remain archived on-chain, Memory is all that visually persists.

This installation isolates the Afterlife tulip from that collective system. The flowers that disappeared at the conclusion of Remember Me are laser-etched into crystal bricks. By preserving a fleeting digital image within crystal, Memorabilia reflects on speculative value, impermanence, and our enduring desire to preserve what inevitably fades.
