I drew what remained after everyone left: the chair, the streetlight, the window cracked open at dawn. These sketches are fragments of memory retold without people, where silence becomes the storyteller. Every line and space holds what language cannot, the stillness of an empty room, the quiet rhythm of time, the weight of remembering.

This project explores what stays behind when presence fades; how stillness reveals what is often unseen. The wooden windows placed across the piece invite reflection, reminding us that life is not defined by its center but by what surrounds it- the overlooked, the background, the in-between.

Perhaps memory is not a collection of faces or voices, but a gentle witness to everything once felt yet left unspoken.

Final work

Memories

Initially, I began with a single sheet of paper and sumi ink. I drew them as if they were panels of a window, reflecting my inner self. The negative spaces were intentional to show silence and stillness in the images. The sketches also lack human figures as I wanted to portray my memories as stand alone environments.

Windows & I

This animation is built from leftovers: fragments of memory that speak louder in absence than in presence. It’s a quiet reflection on what remains when the noise fades, when stillness becomes the only narrator.

The windows scattered through the piece are not just objects, but witnesses, small reminders that life often lives in the margins, in the background, in what we forget to notice.

Maybe memory isn’t about faces or moments at all.

Maybe it’s just the echo of what once mattered, still waiting to be seen.
