Future Relic encloses real mass-produced toys and figures inside blown glass domes faceted through cold-working. Unlike cast reproductions, these are the objects themselves, sealed away as if excavated from our present day. Preserved in glass, a familiar toy becomes an artefact of consumer culture, inviting the viewer to imagine how the everyday objects of our time might be discovered, studied, and displayed by future generations. Each piece sits on a handmade pedestal, presented like a museum specimen.
