Transfiguration is an experimental video that engages in cultural criticism by exploring the transformation of ordinary objects into symbols of art, memory, and identity.
Following a plastic stool, it embarks on an existential journey to answer a deceptively simple question: “Who am I?” Along the way, the stool encounters its refined version: a ceramic stool displayed in an exhibition. Their meeting exposes the fragile line between the functional and the aesthetic, between what is used and what is admired. Yet, this journey is not merely physical; it unfolds as a meditation on marginality and invisibility, on the deep human yearning to be recognized and to exist beyond utility.
With associational editing, mixed media, spatial contrasts, and repetition, Transfiguration
invites reflection, urging viewers to ask themselves:
- Who decides what is seen?
- Who defines what is worthy?
- And what happens when an object begins to see itself?
