TIN SURVIVORS.

Cast by hand.
Carrying what was lost.

As a child, a story was read to me about a tin soldier with only one leg. The detail stayed — quiet, unresolved. Why was he missing it.

Years later the question returned as a casting flask. Not the soldier, but a figure of my own — a small monkey, poured in tin, rough at the seams.

The mold leaves marks. The metal keeps the heat. Bubbles, scars, irregularities — the proof that the object passed through fire and stayed.

Small surviving objects. Miniature monuments to persistence and imperfection.
