The artist’s body and voice function as a lighthouse, encoding the phrase “i am” into rotating light and voice through Morse-based rhythms across multiple islands across borders .




The human body and voice operate as a transnational beacon. Linguistic data forces a physical convergence between migrant identity and geopolitical territoriality. Human existence undergoes a mechanical translation into temporal duration, spatial intervals, and repetitive optical signals.

The coordinates span multiple isolated islands across territorial borders. A human figure occupies these dispersed locations. In each channel, the artist rotates while chanting a repetitive syllable and projecting light, following rhythmic patterns translated from lighthouse signaling encoded using the Morse code translation (.. / .- --) of the phrase “i am” , transforming language into duration, interval, and repetition. Transforming the physical body and voice into a primitive communication apparatus exposes the chronic anxieties of immigrant identity within shifting geopolitical borders.

The relentless transmission of this fundamental existential claim acts as a visceral probing of belonging, utilizing bodily exhaustion to assert a more-than-human presence across unfamiliar territories.
