Bearers of Memories deals with the plurality of memories that are (or can be) connected to material objects. It is part of my doctoral research project at Hasselt University and PXL-MAD School of Arts, Hasselt (BE), which is funded by the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Hasselt University (BOF21DOC04).

For the design of the glass objects shown here, I created artificial multiple exposures of second-hand rings that I purchased in New York City. In photographing these rings from different angles and combining their pictures in Photoshop, I attempted to create something that visualised my perception of the simultaneity of the memories captured in the rings. After creating and combining the images, I began to make drawings, searching for the shape of the object I wanted to create. When I finally found it, it was modelled, sculpted and cast in glass.
The created glass objects intentionally utilise technical flaws such as bubbles, impurities and incompletely melted glass.
