A series of video vignettes, Suspense depicts figures that are human in shape, yet something different. Much like our own, their glowing eyes provide windows into their psyches: they have emotions, which viewers can visually sense but do not truly understand. The figures are seen only as their digital selves, disconnected from a real form. Like when scrolling through Instagram or Facebook, in the end, it is up to us, the viewers, to decide how the shadowy figures might feel, however, we are left to assumptions and judgments gathered from the screen instead of real life.
