Layers of care, memory, and autonomy become a new translation for remembering beyond the digital. In a process that resembles an autonomous data recovery process, a broken device is deconstructed, and its smallest interior parts are extracted and microscopically observed. Visual patterns are harvested, as speculative representations of the data that was lost when this device ceased to function.

While trivial, this data represents a sense of autonomy over personal archives, informing our identity constructs as they determine what is preserved, highlighted, and resurfaced in the future.
