ConceptWhen It Is Seen is an immersive projection-based installation about visibility, recognition, and the fragile act of being perceived.

The work asks what it means to be seen at a time when bodies, identities, and emotions are increasingly understood through screens, images, captions, assumptions, and fragments of information. To be seen can mean to be recognized, acknowledged, or finally heard. But it can also mean to be judged, simplified, exposed, or forced into a form that others can understand too quickly.

Through projected figures, translucent surfaces, motion capture, shadows, and audience presence, the installation explores visibility as a condition that continuously reshapes human presence.
