A subtle pause, a glitch in the ordinary, disrupts the rhythm of life like a flash of lightning. An installation asking a fundamental question: “Where do we position ourselves in our lives?” This work delves into the fascination for our inherent curiosity to explore — ourselves, the world — and to engage with the elemental forces of nature. The system of artworks adeptly conveys this duality, exploring the inner struggles of an artist, neo gothic, embracing color and light rather than hiding in the dark. It collectively narrates the tale of the struggle for discovery, the conquest of the mundane, and the ultimate journey towards liberation.

A suspended breath, then snapping back to life's rhythm. Stuck in that endless loop fighting for dreams, unsure what's next. Neo-gothic video performance with dance elements, illuminating rather than obscuring the artist's inner turmoil through vibrant color and light.

A multi-part video and performance, profoundly influenced by the turbulence and uncertainties of modern life. The work opens with an expressionistic video installation that envelops the audience, guiding them through the inner dialogue and psychological landscape of a contemporary artist grappling with their place in the world. This immersive video component serves as an avant-garde prelude, setting the tone and emotional timbre.
