The Atlas
how everything connects
theme
Duration as Attention
The act of watching something for longer than comfort allows. Slow looking. Patience as methodology. The moment where boredom transforms into seeing.

theme
Fork Points
Moments where time could have branched differently. The conversation that didn't happen. The word that wasn't said. September 10th. The other version of the story where someone sits back down.

What I Didn't Say at the Station (current)
theme
Liminal Space
Transitional zones where meaning accumulates because nothing is settled. Train platforms. Airport arrivals. Hotel lobbies at 3am. The space between departure and arrival where you belong to no place.

theme
Glass as Double Image
Windows, mirrors, screens — surfaces that show you two places at once. The interior reflected onto the exterior. The real and the captured superimposed. Every transparent surface is a compositing engine.

the glass doesn't choose which image is real. neither do we.
theme
Residue
What remains after the thing itself is gone. VHS tracking artifacts. Cassette hiss. The warmth in a recently vacated chair. The impression in a headrest. Proof of presence that fades.

method
The Seams Show, But Elegantly
The production principle. AI artifacts are not cleaned up. Processing stages are not hidden. The collaboration between human and machine is visible in the final work. Transparency as aesthetic choice.

The Atlas is a map of recurring ideas across all exhibitions. Each node is a theme, method, or reference that connects pieces to each other. When a new exhibition is configured, its pieces are threaded into the existing map — new connections appear, old nodes gain new examples, and the web of meaning between works becomes denser over time.

Connections are defined in each piece's frontmatter. The Atlas builds itself.
