Almost There (2023)

A floating female body. Positioned within an age-old theatrical device, the floating figure conjures the illusion of a hologram, achieved through the Pepper’s Ghost technique of reflection. Inspired by historical female mystics such as Teresa de Ávila and Christina the Astonishing, who were believed to possess the ability to fly or levitate, the work celebrates the transcendence of earthly boundaries. Beyond its technical and aesthetic layers, Almost There explores the fluidity between the tangible and the intangible, delving into the space between physical constraints, inner pressures, and mental elevation.
