In the Meaningful in its Meaninglessness series, I use crochet to explore the ephemeral nature of numerical information temporarily ascribed to individuals by governments, corporations and other institutions. The series reflects on data points that momentarily define aspects of our existence, only to quickly become obsolete - a delivery number vital until the package arrives, an OTP number until the transaction concludes - each a fleeting marker of identity and ownership. Through my relationship with crochet, traditionally employed in the creation of tangible, functional items, I venture into the abstract, transforming impersonal data into organic sculptures devoid of utility, but rich in process.

The series begins from observation through trial and error, followed by involving the documentation and preservation of ephemeral moments. Through a series of arithmetic processes, I develop the numerical parameters that I use to establish crochet patterns. The process embraces uncertainty and unpredictability, and the final form reveals itself to me only through the process of creation.

The crocheted sculptures are encased in resin, enabling me to abstract ephemeral, impersonal data into personal artifacts. As a material that is both clear and solid, resin reveals the once-active data while also sealing it away from the world-preserved, yet inaccessible, much like memories or history. The 'dead' data, now encased and almost fossilized, no longer evolves or participates in the active digital landscape. It leaves us to reflect on what aspects of our digital existence will be remembered.
