video, prints, 2023, 1980 x 1080 px, 1:27
In a serene bedroom, a single figure lies on the bed, with thermal imaging revealing a ghostly outline that hints at an unseen twin. This warm trace evokes intimacy and solitude, prompting reflection on the invisible connections we forge with our environment. As the heat fades, the remnants we leave behind and the relationships that shape our spaces, inviting contemplation of presence and absence.
2 interactive video projection, 2023, Size variable, 4:23
Through interactive projection, I encourage the audience to recognize their difficulties and embrace their feelings. Using a video of blooming flowers as a metaphor for life, I present different perspectives, transitioning from reality to the artwork with a distorted interactive video. Text and sound deepen the connection between the viewers and their shadows.
Wood, 2024, 50 x 40 x 2 cm
People leave traces every day, and by recreating a replica of my bathroom cabinet, I transform my parents’ daily necessities into marks that represent their presence. While their items create a layer of shapes in the cabinet, my own necessities remain untouched, picturing a time without my parents, where only their traces linger.
