《Trail of Oblivion》 is an experimental textile project that explores the liminal space between permanence and transience through multi-sensory material investigations. Employing light as a primal medium, this body of work captures the ephemeral essence suspended between memory and oblivion, visibility and invisibility.

Through the photographic technique of lumen printing, recording their inevitable decay. This documentation of organic impermanence naturally extends to auditory phenomena through material translations of sound artifacts. I've developed a method to transcribe both the digital waveforms from contemporary recording software and the analog resonance captured on vintage cassette tapes into textile patterns, using these audio-visual imprints for knitted structures.
