Like Trying to Hold Liquid approaches liquidity as both material condition and metaphor for digital life. Video, like water, exists in constant flux, held only by its container. Images drift across reflective surfaces where visibility becomes unstable, slipping between depth and surface, abstraction and recognition. Beneath the image lie invisible layers that remain difficult to perceive yet continue to shape experience. Technology appears here not as separate from the real world, but as its reflection: immersive, pervasive, and impossible to fully grasp. The work proposes another mode of engaging the moving image, one that is slower, meditative, and resistant to seamless flow - like trying to hold liquid.
