Part of The Things We Keep, a photographic exhibition presented at The Front Room Gallery for Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Each artwork began with a personal object belonging to a creative, collector, designer, artist, or maker from across Australia. These objects were then handed to photographers, not simply to be documented, but interpreted - transforming private possessions into shared artworks shaped by memory, atmosphere, and emotional response.
Presented as a limited edition of 20, each A3 artwork is printed in Melbourne on fine art cotton rag paper as part of an exclusive companion release available through The Hub General Store. Artwork printing leadtime up to 1 week.

21/62. Onggi, the traditional Korean earthenware vessel, is central to our restaurant’s identity. At CHAE, we focus on crafting traditional condiments using timehonoured techniques, allowing flavours to develop naturally over years. These onggi are where all of our ferments are stored and aged for years before being used in our kitchen. Having them here creates a rare kitchen environment, where tradition, time, and place come together in a very tangible way
