The City of Lost Things is a series of mixed-media drawings that imagines a terrain long deserted by its former residents, now solely inhabited by objects that have been separated from their owners. Inspired by Tom Kiefer's photographic documentations of confiscated border objects in El Sueño Americano, these works explore borderlands as liminal spaces in which relationships between objects, place and belongings are in flux and reimagined.
