“Catatonia” was part of “ Tracing Our Dragon’s Smell “ AUC Senior Projects Exhibition At Sharjah Art Gallery ,May 7, 2015

A pattern is a template, a distinctive regularity or repetition in the natural world or in 
human-made design. Every space has its regular changes that seem to be chaotic and unexpected in the beginning. All forms of life has patterns of movement, some the safe routes that anything moves according to in order to survive or go from point A to point B in a specific environment. 
Studying the rules of change, creating a time based circle that shows what is going to happen at what time is the basic idea of all kinds of sciences. 
The target of watching and studying things from a constant point is to come up with a pattern of movement, a few steps to follow in order to move from one constant point to another. Otherwise, one will remain in the center of a spinning wheel that he/she cannot escape. 

“Man's status in the natural world is determined, therefore, by the quality of his thinking.” (Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages)

Through experimentation with surroundings, space and time based media, the target is to create an interactive space that simulates the catatonic state. The aim is to create a pattern of aesthetic motion that keeps changing in both pace and intensity until it turns into chaos and madness.
