“All is in Place, But Nothing’s Okay”*

Video installation, loop, 5:38 min, 2025

I wake up on the floor of my father’s living room, in his arms. He’s speaking with the paramedic. The ambulance driver is sitting in the armchair in the corner. No one’s supposed to sit there. It's too unstable. I realize it’s happened again and ask my father to hold me like I’m a little girl. (December 2022)

Over the past year, I’ve been documenting my daily life on video, after it was upended by a neurological condition that disrupts regular rhythms, leaving behind exhaustion and confusion in a constantly interrupted flow. Layers of emotional tension unfold, both within my body and around it. Between feeling safe and feeling dependent, between intimacy and helplessness.

My relationships with my father, sister, and partner have taken on new dimensions, especially in the small moments where closeness is felt as both a burden and a source of comfort. Life has narrowed. Hospitals have become part of the new routine—corridors, waiting areas, desks, machines, directional signs, and slips of paper with numbers. These experiences shape a different kind of day: one that is muted, heavy, and full.
