Pops K. Ümlang works in reclaimed media through assemblage, joining found objects and lost materials while leaving repair legible in the build. The work is archival futurism: artifacts made now that read as relics from a world ahead, carrying forward the memory of prior use.

The current body, Artifact, advances this inquiry through intuitive sculpture assembled from salvage. Forms are freestanding or suspended; scale runs from intimate studies to statement pieces. Wandering is the method; belonging becomes the form—proportion, mass, and joinery hold the work to rigor. It is a language of salvage that turns repair into design and quietly speaks to our longing for fantasy and enchantment.
