Winter Fractured
Winter Fractured explores the winter solstice as a moment of transition, where the return of light is gradual and often fragmented. The piece reflects my interest in how seasonal shifts are rarely smooth; instead, they contain interruptions, distortions, and subtle changes that accumulate over time. By incorporating visual glitches and layered breaks, I highlight the idea that transformation often appears in pieces rather than in a single, definitive shift.
This work also connects to my ongoing focus on conservation, nature, and sustainability. The fragmented structure echoes the ecological disruptions caused by climate imbalance and environmental stress—changes that are noticeable only when we look closely. At the same time, small areas of brightness point to the resilience and renewal present even within disrupted landscapes. Winter Glitched asks viewers to consider winter not as static stillness, but as an active, transitional state where both vulnerability and recovery coexist.
