Suntracing
The first time I traced the outlines of sunlight beaming through the windows of the A-Lab building, the moment was short-lived. Within seconds, it disappeared, obscured by a passing cloud. When the sky cleared and offered us—the Sun and me—a bit more time together, I quickly realized its incredible speed. Or perhaps, my own, on top of a spinning and circling Earth. Before I could finish tracing even a small shape, the Sun had already slipped beyond the frame I had so carefully created. Not a single moment aligned, never fully 1:1.
2025
Suntracing is a durational, site-responsive performance installation that grapples with the futile act of trying to hold on to that which is most ephemeral: the present moment. By tracing the fleeting passage of sunlight, the work explores the relationality of time.
