Passing through

The spaces between are my spatial labyrinths—
where memory and perception intertwine.
I pose at the threshold between illusion and
reality, the virtual and the physical, what is seen

and what is present.

I wonder: what is the materiality of memory?
These elusive fragments surface and collapse as I

inhabit space—

sophisticated tricks, illusions in continuous
becoming, shaping reality.
I invite you to step into the dim light and linger,
to discover subtle shifts and optical illusions
that resist photographic capture—much like
memories themselves, always slipping the grasp

of full recall.
