Between Compression and Silence
Core Memory is part of the Core Archive Series, a digital collection that explores compression, memory, and suspended presence. Designed for screen-based viewing, this piece hovers between material and residue, between memory and absence.
This work suggests the weight of what is no longer present but still exerts pressure. The image appears quiet and inert at first glance, yet tension quietly builds under its stillness. Core Memory is not about what is recalled, but about what stays hidden, compressed beneath the surface.
A presence, compressed.
