Fog of Recognition

Fog of Recognition uses a fall on the moor to explore fractured memory and selfhood, where fog-shrouded landscape mirrors cognitive disorientation. Past selves surface, the ordinary world resumes, and recognition proves unstable, unsettled, and faintly menacing after injury.

Socks

A brief domestic meditation on worn socks warming on a radiator, their colours misaligning, threads threatening to unravel. Small decisions stall, pressure is deferred, and use becomes uncertain, as time and heat test what still holds.
