The project examines the mechanisms people use to process events and their emotional consequences. The artist adopts an intentionally unnatural method: she 'compresses' her own emotions by applying a data-archiving algorithm. Over one month, she collected biometric heart-rate data with a smartwatch and, with programmer Nikola Stoyanov, applied a Fourier transform. The resulting cubic forms resemble tissue-like structures with peaks and troughs, but do not directly reproduce the heartbeat. Instead, they present a compressed and deliberately convoluted narrative about overthinking, self-preservation, and the ecology of the body and mind.
