Where Wings Remember, 2024

Porcelain, Size variable


Where Wings Remember presents a white kingfisher perched on one of nine walking sticks, each cast from an aid once used by the artist’s late mother. The bird, based on a kingfisher captured and killed in Chiang Saen, is a story the artist once researched and carried with her, folding a distant loss into a personal register. Sculpted without legs, it holds a poised stillness that moves between fragility and resilience.

The walking sticks, once tools of physical support, become quiet markers of presence. They retain the memory of someone’s weight, movement, and care. In this constellation, the bird and the sticks form a line that bridges generations and species, suggesting that memory is sustained through relations and gestures rather than through objects alone. The work rests in a space where tenderness lingers, and remembrance quietly takes shape.
