Threading, Drifting and Sensing is a practice-based project centered on the question: In what ways can video and book reshape the structure of images so that viewers experience time and space differently, and reframe their experience of seeing?

I employ both video and book as mediums of experimentation. Time is no longer a backdrop for video, nor space a passive stage for paper. Both become elements to be seen, shaped, and reorganized—like images. Video and paper offer parallel paths to explore temporal and spatial experience. I approach video through ‘time’—using slicing, reversing, and speed manipulation to disrupt continuity and recompose the viewer’s sense of duration. I approach book through ‘space’—using cutting, layering, and controlled opacity to create spatial structures that unfold as temporal experiences.
