The installation Everything Is a Sign If You’re Waiting for One, presented as part of the SOON_85 project, addresses the relationship between human experience and time. It emerged from a need to capture memories in their fragmentary and discontinuous nature. Through the creative process—experienced by me as a form of therapy—I explore how distorted memory affects perception, identity, and the relationships we build.

 

The images forming this visual narrative oscillate between emotional record and contemplation of the ephemerality of experience. A distorted sense of time—moments that stretch and contract, the non-linearity of events, a frayed present slipping into the past—constitutes the central motif of the constructed representations. They are rooted in personal experiences of loss and quiet transformation.

 

It is in the fissures of time that I find my visual language, through which I build spaces of suspension—liminal places saturated with mood that offer no clear answers. Through them, I examine the impermanence of identity and the fragile architecture of memory, where silence carries weight and absence becomes material.
