IN THE BELLY is a video work that stages perception as a cyclical and embodied process. Through looping movement, shifting scale and layered sound, the work explores how interior states and external environments continuously reorganize one another. Rather than narrating a boundary between inside and outside, it holds both in tension, allowing them to fold into each other.
The video operates through repetition and subtle disruption. Visual and sonic elements nearly align, then slip. The viewer is drawn into a rhythm that suggests coherence, yet resists full resolution. The body becomes both subject and site of perception: not as image alone, but as a field in which stabilization and disorientation occur simultaneously.
IN THE BELLY does not depict birth or death directly; instead, it inhabits a space of ongoing circulation. Meaning does not progress toward an endpoint but loops, intensifies and returns. The work invites viewers to experience the effort of orientation itself; to sense how coherence forms, falters and reforms within the body.
