Sumbul’s installation is a meditation on memory, reconciliation, and the preservation of emotional remnants from the past. Inspired by a personal gift—52 reasons for rekindling a friendship—she reconstructs a keepsake box as both an artifact and a vessel of sentiment. Within its compartments, symbolic objects convey deeper meanings: a wilted rose reflects faded affections, a wooden heart on a black surface represents buried emotions, and photo-transferred words echo the hope and longing in gestures of repair.
Above, a suspended frame holds letters encased in Ziploc bags, preserving the words people choose to lock away in their hearts. Through this work, Sumbul explores the fragility of human connections and the quiet spaces where love, loss, and remembrance reside.
