The past persists in trembling images, unsettled ground, restless bodies, and repeated gestures. From a devastating street protest to a cryonics facility, these projects deny demands for resolution. They dwell instead in limbo between reversal and return, the solid and the spectral, preservation and decay, embracing absences that continue to shape the present.
— a suburban home left untouched after a relative's death, a cryonics facility where bodies are frozen in the hope of future revival, and a composting bin teeming with worms —this work contemplates both decay and preservation, grappling with the desire to hold on to what has already passed.
