Inspired by a shared encounter experience that began with the appearance of a silent, semi-transparent object in a Southern California backyard and culminated hours later in a series of unexplained, mysterious nocturnal events, Approximately Ten Hours Later explores the strange elasticity of time, memory, and meaning. Borrowing its title from the familiar Spongebob Squarepants cartoon trope used to signify the passage of time, the piece juxtaposes humor and high strangeness while inviting viewers to consider the connective threads between seemingly separate moments. Through the intimate scale and devotional form of the Mexican nicho, the work transforms a personal anomalous experience into a modern reliquary dedicated to mystery and the unknown.
