FIND:FADE

In the installation, ‘FIND:FADE’ viewers encounter a meticulously curated assemblage of faded objects, each piece straddling the boundaries between reality and imagination, past and present. The work is loosely based on a significant archaeological cave find in Malta that had uncovered a large collection of objects effectively lost in time. Over the years, many stories have been told, forgotten, erased and revised.

The cabinet itself, a timeless vessel, unifies everything, allowing the collection to be encountered against the backdrop of an ancient past and a reimagined present. Each object serves as a portal to vanished epochs and forgotten eras, inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay between the material and the conjectural. Through this interplay, the cabinet becomes a meditative space where archaeological fragments converge with the uncertainties of speculation, offering a poignant reflection on the shifting nature of history and the passage of time.
