Concrete Mirage (2024)
Three-channel video installation, asynchronous, looping, welded steel, concrete blocks, sand
In a city of concrete, glass and steel, I developed a heightened sensitivity to the interplay of finer details on architectural structure—the brush of fingers, the vibration of voice, the gentle afternoon sun. The absence of age in the new city made glimpses of these instances all the more precious. Concrete mirage draws attention to the dissonance between tenderness and hardness. A mirage is an ephemeral illusion that cannot occur without a solid surface. Similarly, our fleeting experiences are cemented to memories that are fragile and fallible.
