The video essay is a single - channel video, produced in 2025 with sound design by Nana loseliani. It meditates on what it means to be human in an age of machines, reflecting on how time is experienced differently across bodies and non human organims. For humans, time is non-reversible and deeply felt; it drifts, stretches, and slips away in ways no machine can register. The video foregrounds these shifting time cycles through small, transient visual events that appear only once, pointing to a form of perception rooted in memory and vulnerability.
