Manifest On _______ (2023)
"Manifest On _______" represented a collective project wherein participants were tasked with expressing their personal aspirations through written or drawn manifestations on transparent 35mm film. Each drawing constituted a single frame, subsequently scanned and edited to form a video running at 24 frames per second. The considerable time and effort invested in crafting a message that may not directly correlate with the duration of its transmission provides an opportunity for individuals to reflect on the intricacies of the journey towards achievement and manifestation."
Oldies (2022)
Two digital entities reminisce about a time when humans engaged with technology that had fallen out of widespread use.
