Asia Diaries. In-Between

Asia Diaries. In-Between is a series about time that does not rush toward wholeness. Here, the world is not fixed; it seems to lose its contours, becoming translucent, permeable, and prone to displacement. I am drawn to these in-between states of perception — moments when the body cannot quite keep pace with the rhythm of space, and reality itself begins to read as pause, rupture, and transition at once.

While traveling through China, I found myself increasingly inhabiting these pauses: in hotel rooms, corridors, reflections, and in the spaces between the body and architecture. Rather than documenting place, I trace how the sense of presence changes. Neon, silence, movement, and stillness come together in a medium where time ceases to feel linear and begins to shift in density, while impressions deepen and reshape inner perception.

This series does not seek to gather experience into a single story. Instead, it holds it in an intermediate form — where the “I” does not hurry to become whole. Within this transparent shell of travel, the splitting of identity appears not as a loss, but as a mode of seeing: through it, the world comes closer to its own inner fluidity.
