Need To Sustainble City 2 (Echoes of the Past)

This assemblage reimagines the gramophone as a vessel of memory, its horn opening into a glowing horizon where birds and distant silhouettes drift like sound made visible. Perched crows and ground-level pigeons turn the object into a small ecology of witnesses, collapsing the boundary between the mechanical and the living as if the past continues to “speak” through nature’s messengers. The warm, sepia patina and carved base evoke archival time, while the miniature figure atop the platform reads as a fragile conductor—poised between broadcast and burial, between what is recorded and what is lost.
