“Burn. Bury. Sink.”
is a video trilogy exploring humanity’s obsession with technology and nature’s quiet indifference to it. Each piece presents an iPhone offered to one of the natural elements — fire, earth, and water — as a ritual of return and transformation.
The gesture is both poetic and symbolic: a surrender to forces that exist beyond control, beyond the digital. Nothing extraordinary happens — the phone burns, is buried, or disappears underwater — yet everything changes. The screen, once the center of our attention, becomes just another object absorbed by time, matter, and silence.
Conceived as concise visual meditations, the works reflect on our limited attention and our dependence on the screen — on how technology reshapes our perception of reality. While humans live through devices, the natural world continues, unaffected, reclaiming what was never truly ours.
BURN
In “Burn”, an iPhone is consumed by fire — the element of transformation and destruction. Flames erase the device’s smooth perfection, turning the symbol of progress into fragile matter.
The work reflects on humanity’s fascination with control and the digital, confronting it with the uncontrollable power of nature. What remains is silence, light, and the echo of our attachment burning away.
BURY
“Bury” presents an iPhone slowly covered by earth. As the soil envelops the device, it loses its identity and merges with the natural cycle.
The act of burial becomes a gesture of surrender — a quiet return from artificiality to origin. The work invites reflection on permanence, memory, and the illusion of technological immortality.
SINK
In “Sink”, an iPhone disappears beneath water, swallowed by the element of dissolution. Bubbles, reflections, and silence replace the constant noise of digital life.
The video contemplates disappearance — the moment when connectivity ends and perception returns to stillness. Nature, indifferent and patient, absorbs what humanity cannot let go of.
