Whim of Variations
Research and video piece
2021
Through this act of playful yet solemn enumeration, Whim of Variations transforms the home into a dynamic oracle space—a Wunderkammer of memories that revives dormant narratives. Accompanied by the hypnotic sounds of a record player and a carillon, this visual litany unfolds as an ode to life’s impermanence and an intricate dance of presence and absence, celebrating the unexpected beauty of dissonant elements put together. Objects such as religious statuettes, photo albums, and everyday household items are given new context: the piece ultimately transcends its autobiographical roots, inviting viewers into an intimate dialogue with the ephemeral - reflecting on sudden loss, remembrance, and the persistent search for meaning within the process of grief and healing.
