Harvesting Anxiety



Media Installation, 3’40’’ 





Harvesting Anxiety reimagines the body’s involuntary responses to nervousness — rapid breath, sweat, and repetitive gestures — as resources rather than symptoms to suppress.

In this five-channel media installation, these physiological traces are collected and converted into forms of energy, from electricity generated by restless movements to water distilled from sweat.

By reframing anxiety as a productive force, the work invites viewers to reconsider how emotional states shape our bodies and reveal unexpected forms of resilience.
