Intangible Relic

A monolithic reliquary for memories past, present, and future

Standing at 80” tall, with visual stylization pulled from fictional monoliths of long forgotten civilizations, and mechanical design based off Grecian armillary spheres, I have created a reliquary for memories. With each ring representing past, present, and future respectively, from largest to smallest, with the center core existing as the conscious with a window to the interior of the subconscious, I aim to represent how my mind tracks memories and correlates experiences across time. Mounted on a monolith that seems to stand firm against the persistence of time, the rings represent the intangible memories while the elongated drawers becomes a receptacle for physical fragments of experiences.
