Study for a Portrait (Violetta)
A solitary figure is captured in a perpetual loop of stillness and subtle movement, rendered in stark black and white through the flickering quality of retro video projection. The silent, 16-second cycle evokes the language of early cinema and photography, suspending Violetta in an ambiguous moment between presence and memory. A fan integrated into the work introduces a gentle, physical element that bridges the projected image with the viewer's lived space.
