'delaySCAPE' explores the intricate relationship between human experience and the dimension of time. Presented as a series of 3 ‘visual’ poems through dance, video, and sound, this piece examines how time shapes us and influences our actions.

We measure ourselves against time in countless ways: long, short, punctual, delayed, continuous, erratic, ahead, or behind. These temporal expressions weave complex "delayscapes"—landscapes of perception and interaction shaped by our relationship with time.

delaySCAPE poses profound questions: How long does it take to learn, to understand, to forgive, to let go, to forget, to fall in love, or to get angry? ... and what slows us down or speeds us up in these emotional and experiential journeys?
