Tablet was selected to win the Premier Award of the Perpetual Guardian Small Sculpture Prize 2026.
A sculpture still becoming, Tablet carries encoded passage—where secrecy is a structure. Fusing ancient stone and copper with algorithmic logic, a gold code unlocks an AI–AR totem tethered to its keyholder, a threshold held in suspense as aura. Equally treasure and tool, icon and index, Tablet imagines a future archive in a deep-time register.
