Description: This sculpture evokes cherished memories fading into time — an abstract bird formed from wood and ceramic, poised between flight and stillness, brushing the mind like a passing breeze.

This sculpture is more than just a wooden form—it is the embodiment of memory itself. The use of natural wood paired with fragments of broken tile evokes a textured, fragile archive of emotion. Like the human mind, it holds what has passed not perfectly, but beautifully imperfect.

At its heart lies a bird-like figure—neither fully in flight nor fallen. It hovers in a space between motion and stillness, a metaphor for how memories often reside: suspended in thought, no longer alive, yet never completely gone.

Memories Take Flight whispers. It doesn’t shout. It carries the tone of soft longing—not bitter, but tender. Like flipping through old photographs, it leaves you smiling with a quiet ache.
