Tidal
Duration: 1:30 minutes
Tidal is a meditation on healing, guided by the quiet pull of the moon and the rhythm of the sea. Each wave gathers what we carry—pain, fear, longing—and washes it into the vastness, softening what once felt immovable.
In this endless cycle of rise and return, the ocean teaches release. Nothing is held forever; each surge becomes a letting go, each retreat a quiet renewal.
As I drift within its motion, I am not undone but restored—returned to shore lighter, held by a rhythm that heals without erasing.
Bubble
Bubble
Duration: 2 minutes
The Bubble Project delves into the dual notions of fear and protection, navigating the complex terrain of contemporary life. It questions how newer generations perceive safety—not merely as an abstract idea but as a deeply embodied experience, intertwined with both physical and psychological realities.
At the heart of the project is the concept of the Bubble Suit: a protective shell designed to secure the wearer’s safety. Through video and installations, the project addresses themes of isolation, exploring the unseen impact that physical separation can have on mental health. More than just a study of protective barriers, this project invites reflection on the intricate relationship between mental well-being and physical defense.
The bubble—fragile, transparent, ephemeral—becomes a fitting metaphor for the paradox of protection. Though physical barriers may shield us from external dangers, they cannot mend the deeper emotional and psychological wounds that shape our inner world. The Bubble Suit symbolizes these limitations, posing the question: can we ever truly protect ourselves from the unseen forces that threaten our minds?
Through exaggeration and fantasy, The Bubble Project critiques the societal pressures of a world already burdened by pollution, viruses, and violence. By inviting participants to don a Bubble Suit, it encourages introspection on their place within a larger social framework. It challenges them to confront how deliberate isolation, though meant to shield, can cultivate an antagonistic, disconnected existence.
