The Fragmented Collection is an experiment in language and iconography that highlights the absence of substance, language, and meaning in social interaction mediated through photographs rather than merely collecting and exchanging photos. It is the outcome of a compilation process that visualizes digital era complexity and creates a physical memento that highlights the value of leftovers while also creating a memory of certain moments in time. For this project, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, from ancient times to today's popular culture. It also raises questions about how culture will be passed down to future generations.
By juxtaposing a "natural" stone as a reference to ruins and a shiny-polished resin as an image of "false" popular culture, his current collection accentuates the intersection between heritage/modern and craft/digital. In this case, it came from a strong disapproval of modern culture and the way we consume images and pop culture all the time.
