Inscription of tomorrow

Moving-image assemblage: single-channel video projection, monitor, red-painted textile and wood, prism, mirror. Duration: 3:50 min, loop (2018)

This work speculatively deconstructs the inherently fragmented memory and transmission of cultural practices. Using performance, video, sculpture, and digital processing, It explores aesthetics of excess, visual saturation, and reinterpretation through a sculptural video assemblage.

The video, drawn from personal footage of a familial gathering—the communal preparation of henna in a garden on a summer night—captures intimate, dancing hands, each engaged in a collaborative act of making. The traditional pre-wedding ritual, resonant from my childhood memories, is reimagined through visual subversion, interweaving past events with contemporary articulations of identity, ritual, and belonging.
