Specimen 19 - Fragment of a Forgotten Memory

Specimen 19 – Fragment of a Forgotten Memory

Artifact Log — Day 114

A partial structure recovered without context.
Its form suggests erosion rather than construction — as if the object has survived while its system has not.

Surface distortions interrupt reflection, producing broken images that resist reconstruction.
A sealed segment remains intact, functioning as a cap, patch, or attempted preservation.

As an artifact, the fragment records loss rather than function.
What it once contained cannot be verified.
What remains is evidence of prior coherence.

Dimensions: W 31 cm × D 34 cm × H 29 cm
Materials: Stoneware, mirror glaze

Unearthed Artifacts: Post-Cyberpunk Relics from a Forgotten Future presents a series of ceramic works that sit at the intersection of speculative archaeology and cyberpunk futurism. Vancouver-based artist Wilson Makgawinata forms these bulbous, pressure-like vessels through a hybrid process of wheel throwing and handbuilding, pushing clay beyond its familiar functions. Small modular components such as screws, plugs, and spherical nodes are slip-cast and integrated as functional-looking attachments, creating a visual language of connectors, ports, and interfaces.
