Synopsis
Nox is an 18-minute interactive XR work that immerses the viewer in a fractured psychological landscape shaped by trauma, dissociation, intrusive memory, and fragmented identity.
Through narrative progression and four hand-tracked interactions, the participant moves through an unstable inner world where perception, bodily sensation, and reality shift. Blending documentary intimacy with dramatic immersion, the work offers a deeply personal experience that leaves a faint sense of hope.
