This project forced me to confront what has been - for me, and likely for everyone  difficult to grasp and contain: the everyday reality, the longing for recovery, and the surreal nightmare that unfolded for all of us, and especially for the residents of the South, on October 7th, 2023. For me, it felt like a glitch in what we call life. The glitch, to me, is not merely a disruption - it is a way to look again at time, memory, and what seems to have been erased. Through it, I sought to express the sense of warmth, fracture, and the blurred southern temporality - a tense, frozen space where reality distorts and something new and beautiful emerges.
