To be Frozen 

4:21 minutes 
4 channel video, cyanotypes, and UV prints on glass 
2026 

To Be Frozen stages moments where motion collapses into stillness: videos freeze without ending, images fracture across reflective surfaces, and visibility becomes partial and delayed. Iceberg imagery, cyanotypes, and direct animation on 16mm film move between preservation and loss, foregrounding the unstable relation between image and world. Layers of UV-printed glass obstruct and refract the image, resisting seamless visibility and fixed interpretation. Rather than treating interruption as malfunction, the work inhabits freezing as a perceptual and bodily condition - a suspended state where meaning remains unresolved, distributed across fragments, reflections, and moments of drift.
