The Made-Up Museum of Artefacts Series was inspired by precious heritage objects from historical civilizations, their craftsmanship and cultural legacy. This subject has captivated my imagination and motivated me to appropriate the theme and develop a poetic juxtaposition of the different ideas to construct made-up precious objects through exploratory play. Each object from the series depicts the stories of distant worlds that are not only based on knowledge but more so on imagination.
