twirling not spiraling
Duration: 20 min
In Arabic, شرود [shuroud] – means; daydreaming, mind wandering, detaching, and sometimes, dissociating from current events. While, سرود [suroud], is a kind of purposeful شرود [shuroud], and can mean; interpreting, enumerating, rambling, transmitting, trancing, reading, narrating, or storytelling.
Lead by curious aquatic melodies, warped waves, a twirling hourglass, chatty birds, an ocean rock, melting statues, rubber duckies, a tidal washing machine, and a never ending stream of thought, the work explores multiple ways of experiencing time through these two terms and their many definitions.
Shown on November 9, 2022 at the Del Mar Theater in Santa Cruz, California as part of final project screening in Social Documentation MFA, UCSC, Santa Cruz, California
