Dissolve

Description
“Dissolve” is a short meditation on the transience of sensory awareness pointing to that which is unchanging, immaterial, outside of time. It reaches for an equivalence between immediate sensation and metaphor. Ultimately, this work aims to be experienced more fully through the body than the mind. Moving at a breath-like pulse, modulating its light and atmosphere, repeating, varying, and elaborating both its visual and aural themes; “Dissolve” arrives at a dynamic stillness.
