Fathom is a video installation that explores the mercurial experience of time passing and the impermanence of life. Set in a dreamlike, transitional space—part waiting room, part ship at sea—the work evokes a sense of suspension, with figures paused, waiting, and watching. Through their actions, the boundaries between measuring time and space blur, reflecting the paradox that after events pass, only memories persist, hovering between the tangible and the ephemeral.
The title, Fathom, embodies this duality. Rooted in its nautical origins as a unit of depth—once defined by the span of a sailor’s outstretched arms—it also invites the viewer to “fathom” or contemplate the immeasurable: time, memory, and absence. The work is both a meditation and a memento mori, like staring at the sea—immense, beautiful, unknowable.
