About

Until Found

Until Found is an ongoing artwork made through daily attention.

Every day I search the street for what has been lost, dropped, broken, or left behind. I film the search, keep what I find, and place guitar music underneath the documentation.

Over time, the repetition becomes a performance: walking, looking down, collecting, recording, and returning value to things that were almost invisible.

The project moves between public space, social media, archive, sound, jewelry, and sculpture. Some objects are cast in 925 silver, preserving their marks as material evidence of another life.

01
Attention

The daily act of noticing what is almost invisible.

02
Performance

Walking, filming, music, repetition.

03
Archive

Every object kept as evidence of chance, loss, and use.

04
Translation

Selected finds transformed into silver while keeping their marks.

The work is not one object. It is the system that turns attention into value.

The search

The project begins with a daily walk. I look down and collect what has been dropped, lost, broken, ignored, or forgotten.

The repetition matters. The search is not only how material is found; it is part of the work itself.

The archive

Every object is kept. Together they form a growing record of public space: buttons, beads, charms, toys, fragments, coins, marbles, clasps, zippers, and things without clear names.

The archive is not a background process. It is one of the central forms of the project.

Support the project

Keep the search going.

One-time support helps with walking, casting, documentation, and maintaining the archive.

The silver objects

Some objects are selected and cast in 925 silver. Their scratches, dents, textures, and imperfections are preserved where possible.

Casting changes their material value, but keeps the shape of something that had already passed through another life.
