Each bundle that makes up Echo Chambers represents a specific remembrance from my past linked to my family members through articles of theirs and my own clothing. As I methodically wrapped and knotted the hand rolled wet abaca twine around such items as pajamas, shirts, mittens, dresses, etc. I recalled specific times with each parent and my sister.
