Installation Sleep Paralysis

Duration
480’
Sleep, seemingly one of the few universally accessible means of recovery, turns into torment in times of war, when the night amplifies stress and fear. This installation reflects the daily impacts of war, which, despite becoming familiar, still feels like a terrifying waking nightmare from which there is no escape.
