Searching for Soul is a performative installation exploring the intersection of play, poetics, and quantum physics as a means of self-discovery. I borrow and decontextualize symbols from cultural influences such as cinema, theater, and mythology, where characters often reflect our struggles with identity.

The protagonist, whom we associate with ourselves, is frequently drawn toward the uncertainty of erotic love in search of understanding, only to realize the beloved reflects their own ideas about love and reality. Thus, there is not a separate force acting upon us, but rather a world of beliefs we inhabit; this notion of oneness bridges modern science and ancient spirituality, and lies at the core of self-discovery.
