Sewing Machine is part of my ongoing series, Time Machine Residues, which explores how ordinary objects can become vessels for memory.

This sewing machine is not merely a mechanical object. For me, it carries traces of time, hard work, and my mother’s presence. While its physical form remains, the moments and gestures once associated with it slowly fade, eroded by time.

Through fragmented views of the sewing machine, I reconstruct the object as a memory rather than simply depicting its complete physical form. These fragments reflect how memory works—it is never entirely whole, but is continuously reconstructed from what remains.
