"You May Hold Me?”
is a quiet homage to Marina Abramović – and a contemporary reflection on the trust we place in artificial systems. The work transposes the iconic physical tension between two bodies into the relationship between human and AI.
At its core lies not escalation, but hesitation, endurance, and fragile balance.
The question in the title – You may hold me? – is at once a request, a challenge, and a doubt: Who is truly holding whom? And with what intention?
In a world where control, responsibility, and even intimacy are increasingly handed over to intelligent machines, this moment remains suspended – a gesture of trust, yet also a portrait of quiet dependency.
It’s not drowning, it’s the waiting,
In a stark, confined room, a woman sits calmly reading a newspaper that reads “It’s not drowning, it’s the waiting,” while water steadily pours in from a pipe. The scene contrasts stillness with silent tension — a metaphor for psychological pressure, emotional stagnation, and the quiet weight of anticipation that can feel more suffocating than the crisis itself.
