2025, 19.75 x 12.5 in, Oil pencil on paper

I have positioned a projector 6 feet above my workspace pointing down, which I use as a drawing tool (like camera obscura or camera lucida). Here in a flurry of gestures, I attempt to capture moving images on the page. It's an impossible task, full of glitch, abstraction, and illegibility, where I am thinking about the disappearance of context and humanity in the oversaturated digital landscape of the present.
