Reliquarium Garden

This community-based mosaic project provides people with a platform to unlock the personal memories that are encapsulated inside their family keepsakes. It transforms urban spaces into public art, preserving and honoring the collective memory of an entire community. 

 The mission of this garden of relics, or objects of sentimental value, is to help people plant, not bury, the seed of their emotions into a cement garden bed to grow stronger and higher, bringing an everlasting mosaic spring of hope and self-realization.

 Founder and Lead Artist, Khaldoune is committed to preserving personal memories through his mosaic work. He dedicated countless hours to his art to ensure that people's valuables are preserved in cement for years to come. 

Khaldoune is a mosaic story-teller who grew up in Morocco. His childhood memories are decorated with colorful Moorish mosaics and filled with sweet sounds of his grandmother's voice telling night stories. 

Co-Founder and Communication Specialist, Catherine is a compassionate person and an avid social justice advocate. Her life embodies the mission of our project; she dedicates her technical and business skills to serve the community and dreams of the day she can work full-time to preserve thousands of her family pictures inside vintage photo albums. 

Customer Relation Specialist, H.B answers unwanted phone calls and greets people at the door with an open heart. She is a valuable team member who reminds everyone to hydrate and stretch during the day to maximize productivity. Foxy on the left is sweet but has no job qualification.
