White Noise

Paper Installations

White Noise is an ongoing series of experiments that delve into how the mind organizes and reinterprets fragments of memory, thought, and emotion. Inspired by the static "snow" on old televisions—a recurring image from my childhood—the work reflects how formless chaos engages the mind, pulling meaning from what seems like random distortion.

The installation consists of discs, all made from the same type of paper, with subtle variations in size. These discs, uniform in material, represent fragments of thought and memory, often without a fixed shape. As they are layered, they begin to form a larger topography, a map of sorts, that mirrors how memories and emotions accumulate, intertwine, and shift over time. Some fragments are hidden beneath others, altered and revealed in new ways, just as our perception of the past evolves with time.

The white-on-white aesthetic of the work reflects the elusive nature of memory itself—how it fades, shifts, and often becomes difficult to grasp. The interaction of light and shadow across the layers reveals and conceals parts of the installation, much like how we revisit the past, uncovering some elements while others remain obscured.

In White Noise, I explore how the mind returns obsessively to certain memories and thoughts, layering them over time in an effort to make sense of them. The repetition of the discs’ placement reflects this process, where fragments of experience come together, form new meanings, and create a complex landscape of human memory, thought, and emotion. Through this ongoing series of experiments, I examine the relationship between repetition, layering, and the continuous reinterpretation of memory.
