The series consists of 70 artworks through the use of graphical notation and material engagement with found objects. Each of the artworks are sized to resemble name cards. The inscribed notations could be a message or something to be shared. The intention of ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฏ๐ด, ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ด is to create a sense of preservation of a moment or an encounter as one would when receiving a dedication. ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฏ๐ด, ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ด was conceived as a reimagination of another work with the same name of Hungarian composer, Gyorgy Kurtag, who is considered to be amongst the most important today. Kurtagโs work materialised in the form of a set of small miniature pieces written as musical โlettersโ.
