"Michael Jordan & Sunflower Seeds" delves into the fascinating interplay between clutter and continuity within the intimate confines of a corner of my college apartment. This composition invites you to explore the organized chaos of clutter and its ability to reflect a place in time.

The composition features a variety of items that embody the complexities and continuity of my existence, proof that I lived. A Nintendo Gamecube, headphones, a rock hammer, and notebooks all represent different facets of personal growth, creativity, and exploration. Books, a lamp, and a bag of sunflower seeds symbolize wellness, comfort, and personal vices. Together, these objects sit still and bear witness to the passage of time, as an ever-changing reminder of this time in my life.
