Considering Time

*Considering Time* is a performative spatial concept born from a long-duration performance first presented at Testbed Gallery, London. In the performance, the body moves in continuous circular motion while holding a wooden axis in the mouth — an object that simultaneously marks and erases traces on the ground.

The work explores time as both creation and disappearance. Movement becomes a ritual, the body becomes a drawing tool, and space transforms into a living record of presence and impermanence. Inspired by the philosophy of the *ensō* — the Zen circle symbolizing continuity, emptiness, and the cyclical nature of existence — the project reflects on how human actions leave temporary marks that slowly fade away.

The architectural space emerges directly from this performative act: a quiet environment shaped by repetition, rhythm, light, materiality, and the relationship between body and void. Here, architecture is not static form, but an extension of movement, time, and embodied experience.
