Six Word Memoir, Pieces of Things

Is that all there is, remembering?

I've been making parts to go into the cells:

Those are hollow little playthings. Meant to represent--what?--transport vesicles? Mitochondria?

I modeled this while thinking of the cell's nucleolus:

And I'll just pause here to add that the part of the cell that gives me the most trouble building (or abstracting or whatever) is the Golgi apparatus. It's so clear in my head, but my hands have no idea how to make it happen--yet.

This thing:

Has no real life analog as far as I know. It's a hollow piece with holes cut in one surface so you can see the large, loose pieces inside. The pieces are too large to fit through the holes. Some of the inclusions have texture, some have words stamped into them, some are smooth.

This piece is similar:

My six-word memoir (as seen above): Is that all there is, remembering?

My favorite six-word memoir, from Stephen Colbert: Well, I thought it was funny.
