Memories S3 Wrapped in Plastic #01 Books

Two books lie on a wooden table, sealed beneath layers of transparent plastic. The warm tones of the covers and the deep green background give the scene a quiet, familiar atmosphere, while the plastic introduces a sense of distance, as though something once handled and loved has been put away and left untouched.

These were Michael Miller’s father’s books. Objects left behind, the memories attached to them, and the uncertainty of what remains when someone is gone. Even the familiar smell of old books becomes part of recollection - a detail that can bring the past suddenly close, while reminding us how much of it we can no longer recover.

Part of Memories Series 3 - Wrapped Memories, this work explores how wrapping an object can change its meaning. Protected, concealed and separated from everyday life, the books become reminders of the way we preserve possessions, and the memories we hope to keep with them.
