Until the River Awakens

Video Installation

Until the River Awakens is a three-channel video piece carried by a written text. Across three vertical screens, the work moves between insect, body, and land. Between the swarm that passed and the witness that stayed.
The piece circles a question its own footage cannot answer: what surfaces when an archive has been deliberately unmade. When sedated memories return without warning. As apparitions, as soil that refuses to forget, and a tongue that was trained not to speak. The work attempts to show how lingering memories refuse the sovereign logic that what is buried stays buried
