so i searched for the unfamiliar view within my own habitual challenging myself to further slow my own gaze and see what daydreams i might be missing — not looking merely at things but in things, not looking through things but at things, paying attention to unassuming beauty, noticing the visual poetry of secret serendipity, and documenting the intrigue of pure slowness. i documented my findings in photography and video.

these images and videos visually communicated my message; revealing the potential for rediscovery within the habitual, and the depth of experience found within the slow gaze. yet i was left with the question of how i can frame them in a way to allow the general public to receive my message? 

i realized that in order to communicate the quiet and the slowness of my images and videos, i need to surround them with the opposite. i wanted to bring them to a public sphere: to make a loud place quiet, a fast place slow, and a busy mind empty. i decided to propose video installations in new york subway stations to encourage daydreams to the audience that has most forgotten them and do so in the setting where a reminder is most needed.
