Ephemera I
Ephemera is a tangible manifestation that celebrates the fleeting beauty of everyday objects often overlooked, like discarded wrappers and dryer lint. It highlights these items' physicality and narrative potential, prompting visitors to closely examine them. This engagement awakens forgotten memories and  emotions, connecting the material with the emotion. The project encourages a deeper appreciation of momentary life elements, emphasizing the significance of preserving these transient experiences. Ephemera invites viewers to cherish the present, underscoring the profound impact and beauty of life's brief, ordinary moments.

Ephemera II
Every year, in the vicinity of mid-March, the city of Chicago ceremoniously colors the river green, with the hue gradually dissipating and returning to its natural clear state. I deemed this information pertinent to my project, thus I began collecting small samples of water during each crossing of the river for observation.
