Echoes

Site-specific Installation at the Motown Museum in Detroit, Michigan

decimated 3d print of Michael Jackson’s glove, laser cut Michael Jackson album

Echoes is a site-specific installation created for the Motown Museum in Detroit, Michigan. The work consists of two altered objects: a decimated 3D print of Michael Jackson’s iconic glove and a laser-cut replica of one of his albums. Both were created by digitally capturing and intentionally reducing the fidelity of familiar forms—flattening cultural memory into fractured, low-resolution surfaces.

The glove was installed on the piano inside the museum, a quiet nod to Jackson’s early musical roots. The laser-cut album was placed beneath the original Motown echo chamber—a ceiling cavity where handclaps, finger snaps, and foot stomps were once recorded live to create the now-iconic reverb heard on tracks like My Girl.

By placing decayed versions of high-fidelity objects into these charged spaces, Echoes questions how legacy is reproduced, remembered, and physically carried forward.
