This work explores simultaneity the coexistence of multiple emotional and temporal states. Through ephemeral materials such as pressed flowers preserved from travel, the images hold fragile attempts at permanence. These organic remnants become carriers of memory, resisting decay while inevitably transforming.

The myth of Echo is central here. Cursed to repeat but never originate, Echo embodies silenced interiority—feelings that exist but cannot fully emerge. Her love for Narcissus remains unspoken, looping endlessly without resolution. In some versions, she dissolves into stone: grief materialized.

Overlap becomes both condition and method. Seeing and being seen, presence and absence, memory and immediacy—these states exist simultaneously, without hierarchy. In contemporary life, overlap intensifies: emotional, digital, and psychological layers accumulate, often without clarity or resolution.

This layering produces a quiet disorientation a collective sadness shaped by excess, repetition, and fragmentation. There is no singular truth, only accumulation. Overlapping does not resolve contradiction; it reveals how contradictions coexist.

In grief, one can mourn and function, remember and forget, speak and remain silent at once. This work embraces that tension, refusing linear understanding and instead holding space for complexity, ambiguity, and emotional multiplicity.
