Social Inclusion 2 (Contained Narratives)

This triptych of wooden shadow-boxes turns the wall into a quiet stage where absence becomes the principal actor, each recessed chamber holding a small ledge like a shelf for memory. The warm grain and scorched tonal shifts read as a tactile chronicle of time—handled, weathered, and ritualized—while the repeated format establishes a measured rhythm that invites comparison rather than certainty. By offering three near-identical “rooms” with subtly different internal balances, the work meditates on how we inhabit spaces psychologically, suggesting that what we place, withhold, or cannot name is what ultimately furnishes the self.
