2025, Installation — shown in Master’s Projects | Summer semester 2025.

Unfolding as a drift between presence and absence, tracing an unfinished dialogue with I. Rice Pereira. Seeking not to recover, to fix or to resolve, but to inhabit the fissures where meaning defers, and relations remain unsettled. Collaboration is approached not as a fusion, but as a practice of spacing — an encounter with what withdraws even as it insists. Voices are neither preserved nor erased; they scatter, refract, and echo across disjunctive temporalities. The work becomes a field where writing, listening, and absence touch without closure, where gesture reaches and recedes. Through this, the project gestures toward another mode of relational drifts: one that welcomes separation, resists completion, and remains open to what cannot be fully gathered.
