Family Hour explores the ritual of gathering—when sound, image, and presence converge around a shared screen. Iconic animated figures are painted onto vintage vinyl records, transforming each record into both a portrait and a symbol of recorded time. Arranged within a television-like frame, the composition reflects a familiar domestic scene: a family assembled, attention drawn inward, stories unfolding together.

The use of vinyl speaks to analog nostalgia and collective memory, while the bold colors and playful textures evoke the warmth and humor of evening routines spent together. Clouds drift across the background like a looping broadcast sky, reinforcing the idea of repetition, comfort, and ritual.

This piece celebrates family not as perfection, but as presence—moments of connection found in shared silence, laughter, and the glow of the screen.
