Every Dream We Share Has Me Falling Deeper loops 200+ scanned images of volcanoes with audio generated from meme texts. It’s a slow eruption of context collapse, where natural history and geology meets internet absurdity, and deep time collides with the scroll.

Every Dream We Share Has Me Falling Deeper is a four-and-a-half-minute digital video designed to loop indefinitely – a slideshow of more than 200 images scanned from an old charity shop book about volcanoes. There are scientific diagrams, black-and-white archive photos, lava flows, and geological cross-sections; the visual language of explanation, precision, and permanence.
Over this, a synthetic voice reads fragments of text lifted from Instagram meme carousels: snatches of irony, politics, despair, and everyday absurdity. The result is a strange duet between geological and digital time – one deep, ancient and inevitable, the other apparently fleeting and chaotic.
Like much of my work, it speaks to context collapse, appropriation, and the impossibility of making meaning within the noise. It’s part meditation, part meltdown. It’s a slow, burning hymn to the way the internet keeps reshaping what we feel and how we understand the world.
