All the Lost Souls is a contemplative installation that reflects on the many forms of loss that shape our lives: the loss of loved ones, the loss of identity, and the quieter, more internal losses we rarely name. A cluster of hollow, vessel-like forms stands together, their varied heights, colours, and textures suggesting a gathering of abstract figures. Their open, irregular mouths evoke both fragility and resilience, inviting viewers to consider the human body as a shell that holds and sometimes outlives memory. Although each vessel is empty, their closeness creates a sense of connection and collective presence. This shared space transforms absence into a kind of quiet community, offering a memorial not to a single person, but to the universal experience of grief. All the Lost Souls invites viewers to pause, look inward, and reflect on the traces we leave behind, and the ways we continue to hold one another through loss.
