A lone astronaut sits at the mouth of an abandoned passage, caught between entry and exit, memory and disappearance. The tunnel becomes less of a place and more of a threshold — a wound in the landscape, a portal to somewhere unknown, or the remains of a path once built with purpose and now surrendered to time.
The figure does not move forward. They do not turn back. They simply exist in the in-between.
Filmed at an undisclosed location in Massachusetts, USA on June 5, 2026, the work grounds its surrealism in a real and hidden place — a site that feels both discovered and withheld, familiar and unreachable.
This work explores the quiet terror of transition: the moment before transformation, when the old world has already collapsed but the new one has not yet revealed itself. The astronaut, often a symbol of progress and exploration, is rendered vulnerable and earthbound — no longer conquering space, but sitting inside the ruins of human ambition.
Nature presses in. The structure decays. The suit becomes both armor and coffin.
The looping motion suggests a memory repeating itself, or a future unable to break free from the past. It asks whether isolation is something we enter, something we survive, or something we carry with us wherever we go.
