This piece continues a thread of playful meditations on perception, recollection, and reproduction. Fragments of my earlier work unearthed memories of first encountering Lichtenstein's "Rouen Cathedral, Set V" at SFMOMA for the first time. That unyielding reminiscence, like an earworm, served as a catalyst, guiding me to this series.
