Created by Alissa Putri as part of SIGNAL Young Creatives Lab 2026, Spirit Archive explores how experiences of loss shape our memories, relationships and sense of cultural belonging.
Developed in collaboration with software developer Joe Fraser, Spirit Archive invites you to anonymously contribute a memory, letter, personal experience or something you’d like to let go of through an interactive writing portal. Your words become part of the installation, projected into the space alongside contributions from others.
As these reflections accumulate, Spirit Archive becomes an evolving collective archive – inviting us to consider what we carry from past connections, what we choose to release, and the experiences we share.
Content note: This installation explores themes of grief, loss, relationships and cultural disconnection. Sensory note: This installation is presented in a darkened space with dim lighting and projection.
