Glass produces perceptual instabilities: transparency, reflection, and refraction collapse dimensional references into surface, complicating the relation between appearance and spatial reality. Under this condition, the project examines how perception organizes attention and memory through patterns of change over time. Counterposing spatial extensivity against temporal intensity, the imaging system extracts fleeting motions into residual traces that fade, overlap, and persist, each emerging in relation to prior afterimages.

As film captures appearance in flux, drawings formalize its persistence by mapping memory across time and space. The system traces pre-attentive salience through frame centroids, and articulates loci where recurring motion condenses into temporal densities. Linking global shifts in perceptual weight with localized retention, the drawings show how mnemonic duration distorts spatial and temporal registration. The surface “dreams” in multiplicities, as shifting traces form a spatial palimpsest that unsettles the certainty of appearance.
