Calendar 2026: House of the Unforgottens
«The life of an object is its owners.»
To forget an object is not to erase it, but to allow it to dream. In silence, it becomes something else—a witness to passing days, a guardian of what was once important. The forgotten does not disappear; it remains in silence, watching life flow without it.
These are quiet reflections on time, loss, and the mundane traces of love. Told through the lens of a year dedicated to lost and found objects, it transforms the mundane—a photo frame, a chessboard, a pair of shoes—into vessels of memory. The work begins with hope: the loss of a lost object carries with it the belief that it still exists somewhere, fulfilling its purpose in another life. But over the course of several months, what emerges is no restoration of change. The frame remains empty, the chessboard unused, the ring hidden. These discoveries demonstrate that time does not return what it takes; it only changes.
Ultimately, «House of the Unforgottens» is not a story of loss, but of transformation. It suggests that to live is to continually lose and rediscover the same things—love, memory, purpose—each time in a different light.
