Unbuilt Rooms

The life unlived still leaves a shape in the air.

Small structures of wire and worn textile—rooms that never came to be, yet still echo with presence. Set alongside two-dimensional works of coastal plants and dune blooms, Unbuilt Rooms asks “what remains when a possibility goes unrealized?”

These are not elegies. They are invitations— to enter the rooms still stirring within us, to tend what was held unspoken, to recognize that even the most fragile presence leaves an imprint. What we did not build, we still carry.
