Thesis: Pia mater dura mater
Through the soft shadows of my lashes, I see the world flickering. I try to closely observe the inner rules, the structures through which perception generates reality. I try to study the anatomy of my senses and fantasies.
The memories we keep alive together form the scaffolding of identity. They give rise to who we believe we are. Reality appears stable through repetition, through reconstruction. But fantasy often vanishes without a trace. It's in this lonely gap that I feel a need, to keep myself from dissolving. I make figures, videos, and other manifestations to hold those precarious perceptions — to keep them from deflating and collapsing the moment you look away.
