Pieces of You draws inspiration from the cherished mementos carried by soldiers during the Second War, as depicted in HBO's Band of Brothers. Soldiers often clung to small keepsakes to sustain connections to their loved ones amidst hardship. This collection highlights the deep intertwining of memory and material possessions, honoring the personal importance these items played in maintaining emotional resilience and symbolizing connection and love during times of separation.
