Ascendance is an 8-minute narrative re-imagined as a large framed moving image. At first glance it appears to be a still painting or photograph—but motion and directional sound, heard only when standing directly in front of it, draw the visitor into a poetic extraterrestrial journey: A lone astronaut, severed from the mothership, drifts through a cosmos of vivid flowers, fluttering butterflies, and poetic hallucinations, as oxygen slowly runs out.

Ascendance invites quiet reflection on the fragility and transience of life on earth and in space.
