Concentrate, 2024, is part of a larger series of work titled c0de to Home (2022-present), in which memory is explored as a signal to be decoded. The work physicalises digital compression—the act of shrinking a life into a code—in the form of a physical QR code [1], which is an attempt to capture the essence of an impression that lingers from my childhood. By transcoding the shifting colours of my past into the language of machines, I explore what is lost and what is found when navigating the space between the physical and the virtual.
