Created around the time of my son's birth in 2022, Vestiges: Solaris began as a simple playlist—a collection of songs meant to accompany those quiet, early walks that lulled him to sleep. But as an audiophile and designer, I couldn’t leave it at just that. This project became a deeply personal piece of visual storytelling, featuring my own handprint set against an arid desert landscape, symbolizing warmth, time, and fleeting yet profound moments. The artwork mimics a mixtape record cover, with the tracklist and release years carefully curated to reflect a journey through sound and memory. Vestiges: Solaris was just the beginning. I’ve since created more Vestiges playlists, all of which are available on Spotify and can be enjoyed via the RCH.ETC page on this website.
