Found materials, objects, and images comprise the raw source of a "repository of visualities"—a past-lexicon in flux, sedimented like the layered strata of an island long positioned at the crossing of trade routes and empires—subsequently transformed, reassembled, and reconfigured, as an approach to critically interrogating our understanding of the present. Through a series of intervention-sequences and tactile responses to found imagery, Proposals explores the mutability and latent potential of cultural objects, objects that carry the salt and dust of shorelines where myth and geopolitics have long been indistinguishable. By considering the conceptual significance of artifacts, archival images, literary works, and symbols—along with their cultural, social, and historical resonances—the work suggests a non-linear narrative, a disruption of the Modernist encyclopedic model, offering instead alternative modes of meaning-making.

Challenging rigidly predefined notions of how material, pictorial, performative, and instructional systems affect social structures and shape archetypal models, the work prompts shifts and displacements in contemporary perceptions. Revisiting themes from art history, geology, archaeology, architecture, and popular culture, Proposals revises, recontextualizes, and recomposes existing paradigms, gesturing toward an island imaginary where ruin and reconstruction are simultaneous conditions rather than sequential ones. "Familiar visualities" are extracted from their original contexts and presented in an incomplete, fragmented, and deliberately ambiguous manner—inviting the viewer into a process of interpretive co-authorship.
