These prints, derived from my own painted skin, disrupt the rational language of the current, digital world with a visual language of touch and fragility.

Resisting speed, bodily movement, and functionality, it slows down to invite viewers to feel the disconnect between language, communication and emotions. Questioning what's expressed and what’s buried under.

Beneath the desk lives anxiety itself. A second screen, hidden behind green streamers, plays a performance where I embody the feeling of being overwhelmed, restrained, and unseen. The streamers, like anxious thoughts or exposed wires, restrict leg movement and disrupt the view—turning the space under the desk into an emotional underworld. The soundscape loops the crackling pressure of bubble wrap and the erratic intensity of typing increasing tension in the video.
