Out of office, still performing

Out of office, Still performing is a video work examining the pursuit of the ever-elusive ideal vacation—a two-week mirage of rest, rejuvenation, and personal transcendence after a year of corporate purgatory. In this piece, I explore the absurdity of curated self-care and the myth of leisure as a form of salvation. Through digital collage saturated with irony, the work interrogates our desire to package relaxation as productivity, and asks—what happens when paradise is just another performance?
