’In Between, We Navigate’ is an oblique 3D video piece that compares the differences between conjured imagery of hopes and aspirations against the exaggerated sense of reality. These two extremes and stereotypes are neither realistic nor entirely false, yet it is somewhere between these harsh and soft spaces that we navigate our days.

The two-channel projection plays off one another, asking the viewer to devote their attention between the screens, reenacting these fluctuating, contrasting, emotional, visualisations.

Our imagination builds off of what we know, creating adaptations and reiterations of what is familiar to us. Resulting in imagery that is rooted to the ground, while also reaching for an element of weightlessness. One screen floats in the space while the other grasps the ground.
