The “Shifting Boundaries” video is an activity/exercise that I perform as part of my process to explore the work from a different perspective. I edit the footage taken from the mesh sculptural installations to produce an altered version of the work, and to translate the subject from one language to another. The movement in the work allows for a subtle optical illusion where the sculpture mutates between 2D and 3D planes, between the physical object and the digital rendering. These transactions between worlds in motion insist on the idea of communicating across different languages and existing simultaneously in between distant realities and places. The semi-transparent quality of the wire mesh sculptures carries a confusing presence revealing issues of alienation as a psychological condition of the global subject. Elements of constant movement, a strong sense of duplicity, and sharp spatial boundaries aim to a visual a metaphor of the invisible boundaries of cross-cultural identities.
