In "Entangled Reflections of Excieties (on Transit)," 2023, an arm reaches out of a car window as a burst of white light masks their face, as if someone has taken a photo from the outside looking in. The dazzling deposits of colour evoke the blinding effects of the flash. Feelings of anxiety and excitement (which together form the word “exciety”) tussle in the aftermath. As our eyes piece the scene together, the blooms of flowers and the silhouette of a frail standing figure come into view. Purple arcs and notations are like the remains of graffiti on a wall that speak to Touborg’s own youthful adventures. Reflections and experiences are tangled together, almost threatening to dissolve into oblivion, like disintegrating memories.
