This series of sculptural photographic and media installations repurposes second-hand, prefabricated objects—such as shelving units and display boxes—as projection surfaces. Each object is modified with materials like tracing paper to create internal divisions, transforming them into fragmented, architectural micro-structures.

Single-channel projections—composed of both video works and sequential animations built from photographic stills—are mapped onto and through these compartments, with each moving image responding directly to the object’s form.

By disrupting the flatness of the traditional screen, the work engages spatial practice: projection becomes a spatial and material event. The sculptural surfaces shape how the image is experienced, refracting and interrupting the narrative flow. Viewers are invited to navigate the tension between image and structure, surface and depth.
