This multi-screen installation functions as a chronological archive of systematic disappearance, mapping a twelve-year trajectory of conflict and migration. Each screen serves as a temporal marker where the human subject undergoes a process of gradual erasure, documenting the transition from voice to silence and from name to abstraction. Avoiding the traditional spectacle of war in favor of its quiet, residual effects, the work utilizes transparent layers and optical decay to interrogate the mechanics of invisibility. It frames the experience of exile not as a sudden rupture, but as a prolonged ritual of dissolution—a funeral stretched over years—where the individual is slowly abstracted into a weightless outline. By the final channel, the visual field is reduced to light and silence, providing structural evidence of a total transformation where the subject is replaced by the permanent echo of their own absence.

This is not a documentary.
This is what it feels like to vanish.
