The Vanishing Hour (2024)
Created during the Saikonoen residency at Lake Saiko, Japan.
This work captures the ephemeral nature of passing hours, creating a digital illusion to prolong their presence. By documenting a tree bathed in daylight, I projected its shadow as night fell, transforming the desire for the day to linger into a shadow itself. Inside the house, I recorded sunlight streaming through the windows, later reimagining it as a mapped projection at night—an artificial recreation of the sun’s gentle glow. Additionally, I documented the moon from the previous evening, using video mapping to cast its image onto the surface of Lake Saiko.
