Sleep Debt

Work

Sleep Debt
Series of three drawings on aged paper, 21 × 29.7 cm

I take on the strange task of house-sitting at night, an act that seems simple but quickly turns into something else. It’s not just watching over an empty space, but surrendering to the rhythm of the night, slipping deeper into doomscrolling as sleep slips further away. A strange mix of overstimulation and exhaustion.

There’s something offbeat, almost intimate, between my body and the data – it’s as if one is trying to keep up with the other. The body, searching for rest, caught between the pulse of human intuition and the cold, relentless logic of machines. My figure, suspended in time, begins to melt into the paper, into the sheets, into the night. 

And then, that moment again – I check the clock at 3 AM and realize I’ve been awake for hours..
