This work is a reflection on time and the unknown length of life.
Like sand in an hourglass, every moment passes through the narrow point of the present. The past remains below. Some memories we choose to keep, others slowly disappear. Some things we would rather forget stay with us, while things we want to remember can be lost.
The future stays above — clearer when it is close, more uncertain the further we try to look.
Like sand in an hourglass, every moment passes through the narrow point of the present. The past remains below. Some memories we choose to keep, others slowly disappear. Some things we would rather forget stay with us, while things we want to remember can be lost.
The future stays above — clearer when it is close, more uncertain the further we try to look.
Our time is limited. We never know how much is left.
Our attention moves differently. We travel between memories, the present moment, and our idea of the future. What we have lived through and what we hope for both shape the way we experience now.
And time itself never feels the same. Sometimes days disappear before we notice them. Sometimes a single moment seems to stretch much longer. A short time can feel like an eternity, and an eternity can suddenly feel short.
Sometimes we spread ourselves across time. Sometimes everything comes back to one point — the present.
The composition follows the same movement: expanding in both directions, then returning to the center.
Three digital symbols continue beyond the canvas — a small reminder of time, the present moment, and everything around it.
Keep them, use them, or simply add them to your collection.

Visual identities and creative concepts across graphic design, motion, digital media and physical spaces.
Like a plant, the digital world has grown around us — and through us.
Every digital image begins as a simple pattern of ones and zeros — the presence and absence of a signal. We experience the result every day, but rarely think about the invisible language behind it.
In this performance, every source of light comes from that same language. The installation does not only show an image — it creates the space, reveals the performers, and makes the moment visible through digital light.
Where does this video exist before it appears on your screen?
