Echoes From Inside

An immersive installation where audiences enter a shifting body of fabrics and projections, becoming part of a fragmented landscape shaped by lived experiences of gender transitioning.
Echoes From Inside is an immersive video installation exploring gender transition as a process of transformation, fragmentation, and becoming. Combining experimental filmmaking, paper-cut animation, performance, and layered projections, the work creates a walkable environment shaped by shifting memories, bodies, and landscapes.
The installation follows a non-binary trans person confronted by a Doppelgänger born from self-doubt and internalized otherness. Inspired by the four alchemical stages of transformation, the journey unfolds through symbolic encounters rather than linear narrative. Figures appear and dissolve across semi-transparent screens, creating an environment where inner change becomes spatial experience.
As visitors move through the installation, personal transformation intersects with broader questions of care, coexistence, and shared experience. The work reflects on how profound experiences of change can be shared and understood beyond explanatory storytelling.
