INSIGHT / INCITE PROJECT:
THREE SECONDS

Video Installation
MAY 2023
This video installation explores the ramifications of fast living and how a constant accelerated life can trigger feelings of stress and anxiety. Using scanned mundane objects found in nature, this motion piece brings to life the little things that are often overlooked and taken for granted. Flowers are among these items used to demonstrate the ephemerality of our time in the present, which only lasts three seconds according to psychologist and neuroscientist Ernst Pöppel.

By pushing for more time in the presence, we can begin to see the beauty in the little things, reminding us that life too is ephemeral, and should not be wasted in worries about the past or future.
