About this Artwork

‘Wake Up’ unfolds like the instant before consciousness returns — a liminal fever-dream where light, memory and breath unconsciously begin to reassemble the self. Both intimate and planetary, as if the camera is waking inside a body and a world at once. Vibrating stillness. Time dilating, as though the future is testing its arrival.

Born from the long hush of chronic illness and post-surgical limbo, the piece lingers in the terrifyingly delicate moment where aliveness is not guaranteed — and yet something flickers. Not triumph. Not command. But the first glimmer of re-entering life. A fragile pulse of hope.

There is no command — only the sensation of awakening. A soft rupture. A signal. A becoming-human-again. The work behaves less like a film and more like a somatic shift: the hinge between interior weather and external world.

‘Wake Up’ is not about action — but the threshold before action. The raw voltage of choosing to exist. A becoming-human-again. The almost-imperceptible shift where interior weather begins to tilt toward light.

It is not a declaration. It is a risk — a whisper — a return.
