ECHOES

A visual exploration of how reality dissolves under the weight of introspection

In my photographic journey, I've sought to encapsulate the profound intensity of experiencing the world around me. A pivotal aspect of this exploration is the sensation of derealisation—akin to the haziness of being inebriated, where eyes resist opening and surroundings morph into an ethereal dance. This disconnection, at times comforting in its confined bubble, can also feel like a prison. I wanted to visually narrate these contrasting emotions—both the serene and the paralysing.

The culmination of this visual exploration finds expression in a holographic and biokinetic installation—that further immerses viewers in the emotional tapestry that inspired this project.
