Each collection is titled with the date the walk occurred, each corresponding with different locations throughout the world. The tiles presented to the viewer represent the final stage of transformation in the objects journey.
The initial process of collecting, creating the pedestal and exposing the objects to an environment unfamiliar to their original origin provides an unexpected transformation where each piece becomes anew, existing in a new state.
