Mixed Media Assemblage | 16 x 13 x 4 inches | Custom Framed
 
This miniature interior vignette reflects on memory, nostalgia, and the objects that carry our past. The attic as a metaphor for the mind — a place where history rests until something familiar stirs it awake.
 
The muted palette — softened golds, pale creams, and worn metallics set against an old-rose velvet backdrop — suffuses the scene with quiet melancholy. Threading through the scene, a necklace of freshwater pearls, red-and-gold Murano glass beads, and semiprecious stones unifies the scene — tying disparate moments into a single narrative.
 
Arranged with deliberate care, each element suggests how memory is curated: what we keep, what we let fade. More than a miniature interior, Memories from the Attic is a contemporary narrative assemblage that invites viewers to reflect on their personal archives.
