I Wish You Could See What I See explores the hidden architecture of dissociative experience, translating the internal, fragmented states of derealisation and depersonalisation into a visceral media encounter. Through a day-in-the-life journey, the video performance examines the invisible weight of living with a dissociative disorder, visualising how it both filters and magnifies experience - turning the ordinary into something amplified, estranged and somewhat distorted.

The aim of the video-performance is not to catalogue check-box symptoms, nor imply a universalised experience, but to convey the severity of dissociation through lived experience, translating an invisible internal state into a visible, embodied form. Although increasingly acknowledged, dissociative disorders remain widely misunderstood, and the project seeks to bridge the gap through perception and sensation - as opposed to explanation. The work resists conventional storytelling - rather than offering a plot-driven storyline, it centres on lived perception, where the significance lies not in what happens, but in how each moment is experienced. By employing a first-person perspective, it allows the viewer to truly inhabit the experience - moving beyond observation from a distance and toward embodied understanding.

The video performance unfolds across a typical day in London, from morning to evening: leaving home, travelling to university, time on campus, and returning home. A continuous voiceover runs throughout the work, composed of internal thoughts spoken aloud.
