“When I look at all of the objects I paste up on my walls, I am reminded of the core memories I made when collecting them. Moreover, I remember the time I spontaneously visited a gallery with my friends from the artist postcards I’ve bought, the nostalgia of eating lunch in elementary school from the apple juice boxes taped alongside the friendship bracelets I’ve collected, and the moments of pure creativity felt in the scraps of paper I’ve kept after making a mixed media piece. In a way, my wall is an extension of me.”
