The work evokes the disorienting tension between movement and stagnation, mirroring the emotional states of those caught in limbo, and invites viewers to sit with the discomfort of waiting, uncertainty, and interrupted continuity.
This three-part video series reflects my ongoing exploration of the process of forceddisplacement - both physical and emotional - through fragmented movement, sensory overload, and suspended stillness. Each piece draws on personal and collective experiences of interruption, uncertainty, and the struggle to find continuity in unfamiliar spaces.
In the first video, the natural flow of water and a car in motion are repeatedly disrupted by a buffering symbol, a digital glitch that becomes a metaphor for stalled progress and the uneasy pause of waiting.
The second video presents a paper boat adrift in a bathtub, layered with the jarring intrusion of video advertisements and ambient office noise. This fragile vessel, caught between play and helplessness, mirrors a sense of vulnerability and emotional detachment within an overstimulated world.
The third distils trauma into five seconds: a tear, flashing crowds, flight, and suffocation. These compressed fragments evoke the way refugee narratives are often consumed—reduced to fleeting headlines and decontextualized moments.
Together, the works navigate themes of disorientation, invisibility, and the human desire for arrival. Beneath the surface of crisis lies a universal tension: between movement and stillness, erasure and presence, rupture and the hope of belonging.
