​The frame approaches intimacy — almost intrusion.

The sheets retain the impression of weight.

As skin, a membrane - the screen becomes a perceptual threshold where the voyeuristic gaze dissolves. The video shifts from a study of the body toward the corporeality of the image itself.

The spectator lingers in the perceptual space on the other side of the frame, where the image seems to precede memory.
