At The Butterfly Effect: Bridging Borders, the video work Temporary Folder explores how women navigating migration are treated as temporary files within bureaucratic systems, reflecting on displacement, identity, and the struggle for belonging across borders.

The video explores how women’s identities are shaped by the systems they must navigate when seeking a place to belong. Through databases, verification processes, and migration bureaucracy, the work reflects on how a person’s life can be reduced to documents, records, and statuses.
For women living between borders, home can become something that exists on paper rather than in a place — a record that can be changed, questioned, or lost.

//IF REALITY IS A SIMULATION, WHY DOES IT HURT?// AT MATRIX / MUSEUM OF AZERBAIJANI PAINTING OF THE XX–XXI CENTURIES

The video work is on view as part of MATRIX, a group exhibition proposing reality as a coded and constructed system — one where the boundary between the real and the simulated stays deliberately unresolved.
The work takes one question seriously: if reality is structured like a program, why doesn't pain disappear? Why does it refuse to read as illusion?
The answer the work arrives at — or rather, refuses to resolve — is that suffering operates as an error signal.
