Bureau of Lost Causes
The first Rolodex "Lost and Found", contains 172 hand-stamped index cards, each listing expressions associated with the experience of being lost, as well as things or aspects that can be lost in life.
The second Rolodex "The Silent Women’s Archive", catalogues handwritten stories of women artists who have experienced the loss or intentional disappearance of their work, whether due to external factors or conscious artistic choices. This collection sheds light on the struggles and resilience of these women artists and stimulates discussions about gender inequality, artistic choices and the preservation of artistic works.

Lost and Found, 2021.
Lost and Found, is an exploration of the themes of loss, losing and being lost. The project consists of a Rolodex of 172 hand-stamped, alphabetically organised index cards, each containing expressions associated with being lost and things that can be lost. The turning of the cards creates a unique rhythm that emphasises the multitude of words and transforms the simple stationary object into a vessel for new meanings.
