The sculptural construction "Virus in the RAM" captures my personal sense that, after the Covid-19 pandemic, time moves at dizzying speeds, and memories become increasingly blurred. It consists of a wooden board on which I have placed a spool of ILFORD film. A strip of film unravels from it, while next to it, I have engraved the years 2017–2025 with a pyrograph, like a ruler that measures not length, but time.

Up until 2020, both the film and the wooden surface remain intact. From that point onward, however, burn marks begin to appear. The film gradually melts and distorts, like a memory fading away. The wooden board, as it approaches 2025, becomes increasingly charred, until it looks almost completely burned.

With this piece, I aim to express the feeling that before the pandemic, our memories were more vivid and detailed, whereas after 2020, everything seems to pass more quickly, without leaving as strong an imprint on our minds. The viewer is invited to stand before the work and observe this gradual decay, perhaps reflecting on whether they, too, feel that their memories of recent years have become less clear.
