Here's what's on my bench at the moment. There's no plan for these things, they just evolve as I work on them. This one has a ways to go but I'm at a crossroads, time to decide on orientation. Vertical, or horizontal?

Reposting from snagmetalsmith
"In a world that changes ever-more rapidly, our old memories fade and we grow tired. But we humans also find the strength to push our limits when we reflect on our memories. In such a spirit of our power and resilience, I have collected and distilled my memories, one by one, into each of my pieces." - Youjin Um
