Garden unfolds within a threshold space that lies between waking reality and dream. In this film, I attempt to give partial structure to my own subconscious, turning abstract states into material forms through image, sound, and fragmented language. Creatures from an aquarium and plants outside my home inhabit the same dark and vivid environment. Coral and roses, cherry blossoms and jellyfish, sea anemones and hyacinths appear together, reorganizing the scale and shape of life as their breathing overlaps in the gaps between images.

The visuals combine moving footage and still photograph, each carrying a different temporality. When these layers briefly align, a coherent structure emerges, only to dissolve when the sound pauses. The sound design is entirely AI-generated. Wind, water, music, and a voiceover cloned from my own voice explore dreams, consciousness, and reality. The technology's instability creates a murmuring quality, as if memory is speaking through another version of myself. All subtitles are handwritten. Their slight

instability and trembling lines resemble words that appear in dreams—familiar and intimate yet not entirely grounded in reality. Phrases from my personal journals, such as“Ifdreamingoutweighswaking…”and“Hasthemooneverbeen?”,recurthroughout the film, placing traces of my subconscious back into the imagery.
