Echoes of Time

Part of the exhibition:

Echoes of Time visualises fragments of human memory as elemental rituals. Each image reflects a distinct “time-body” of birth, growth, love, silence, and renewal, echoing the cyclical rhythm of existence. 


Through light, composition, and texture, the work gives form to emotion, allowing stillness to hold the same intensity as movement. Aboya approaches his photographs as visual poems, where silence and space are as vital as the subject itself. 


Drawing from the themes explored in Journey to the 8, this exhibition reimagines the elements – earth, air, fire, and water – as states of being rather than physical environments. Together, the digital works form a meditative continuum in which time and memory fold into one another in perpetual return.


In The Sublime Gaze, the body becomes a quiet terrain of sensation, resistance, and revelation. These works do not seek clarity; instead, they drift between image and impression, asking us to linger in the thresholds: between gaze and gesture, form and feeling, signal and silence.

Each portrait unfolds gradually, as an act of becoming, a suspended intimacy, a soft rupture in the cycle of spectacle—where the body is not reduced, but revered; not narrated, but felt. The digital here does not disembody; it extends, becoming a vessel for presence as atmosphere. These images hold space for the unseen, the unresolved, the trembling stillness of simply being. 

To witness these figures is to encounter a mirror that does not reflect, but quietly reveals.

Enquire

Mirror Into Auntieverse is an interactive installation that reframes photography as a live negotiation between body, machine and cultural memory. First presented at Paris Photo 2025, the work embeds motion capture and real time rendering within a nineteenth century Napoleon III mirror frame. When visitors approach, their reflections are replaced by animated aunties from the Auntieverse, niceaunties’ ongoing AI driven world building project that repositions the Asian auntie archetype as protagonist rather than stereotype.

The interactive mirror installation has been produced in collaboration with Load Gallery.

Songs Of Freedom, 20__

Enquire

A work of moving landscape art showing a smoking volcano flexing its legs, rotating its ankles, stretching, relaxing in expansive rolling pasture. The scene gradually reveals it to be made entirely of body parts, and eventually zooms out to reveal it as part of a system of living beings, then part of a larger auntie being, which is shown to exist within a volcano, folding back on itself both in a time loop and in the body. For a moment, tiny clay creatures emerge from the volcano, referencing the myth of the goddess Nvwa creating humankind from the earth.

Echoes of the soul, 2024

Enquire

A static scene of a waterfall peacefully existing and morphing. On closer look, the layers of the fall are composed of dermis, over time collapsing and reconstructing with the appearance of the full moon. For a moment, an auntie and her leg emerge in the falls, only to disappear, leaving behind her laughter, akin to glimpsing a creature darting by in nature. Water is a symbol of abundance and wealth. In the Auntieverse, falls remind one to stay focused on the flow amidst the rise and fall of landscapes.

___, 2024

Enquire

A static scene of an auntie continuously cycling, moving endlessly through changing seasons of a slice of the Auntieverse. It is unclear where exactly she is, except the ground she is pedalling is filled with dermis, flowers and crystals. Occasionally, goats accompany her journey. A bonsai plant emerges, the moon sets and the sun rises. Through the frozen cold the auntie takes a rest but still pedals away, until the scene returns to its original timeline and the cycle begins again.

Between Lines and Purpose, 2024

Enquire

The auntie angel patiently pours tea into a cup that never fills up, unbothered and moisturised, resting and chilling while the landscape around her flourishes from the flow of abundance and balance of energy. Eventually she rests while unknown hands balance the tea between two cups, getting a massage. The Auntgel is extremely patient while the world changes around her, waiting for no one, yet blissfully waiting. The impatient black cat wanders by. A major arcana in the Auntieverse.

Home Is Love, 2020

Enquire

The auntie scales and runs about in a landscape of crystals, flesh and goats, in an endless parkour and exploratory exercise, accompanied by the moon, to reveal that she is on a planet in the multiverse, continuously morphing and leveling up. Even if the journey seems endless, the curiosity, the process, and stopping to pose for an imaginary selfie is what she enjoys the most.

junkbutt, 2025

Enquire

Made during a full moon, the artwork is a surreal reflection on the accumulation of old unwanted energy stored in the body, akin to junk waiting to be vacuumed out. The body is expressed as a storage system full of drawers and levers, squeaking and creaking as they are being opened to be cleaned. The moon has its own storage too.

bodybag, 2025

Enquire

Zips open and close on auntie’s various body parts to reveal mechanical insides, mini aunties and food. If only surgeries were conducted this way, it would be way easier and simpler. A reflection on the body as a holder of light, information and what we eat, and that even if it is a temporary home, it is to be cherished and protected.

NSFW, 2025

Enquire

A study on how it feels as an ageing body attempts to pick up exercise and movement. It may feel like one is picking up a building or getting an expired machine to restart. Even if it seems daunting, it does get easier. The dancing cat cheers auntie on.

hot bod, 2026

A frantic journey of rumbling and intense confusion as eruptions occur simultaneously on sites across the auntie body. A reflection on the changes of a perimenopausal body and the sudden frustrations that accompany it.

full moan, 2026

Enquire

Made and published during the last full moon of the year of the snake, after an intense period of shedding old energy, the auntie heaves a sigh of relief with a gigantic last moan of the year. She does so while navigating a landscape of flesh, crystals and goats, scaling walls and going within flesh. Connected to the artworks Cycles and Leveling, though with a very different attitude, the artwork reflects on our complaints and dreams.

frogauntie, 2026

Enquire

The frog auntie is activated by moonbeam to integrate with the earth, burrowing within for lucid hibernation for a few moon cycles until it is time to emerge again. Occasionally she transforms into a layer cake. She understands we are all made of the same layer cake of differing flavours and form. An inward reflection alters her ingredients for change.

headspace, 2026

Enquire

An auntie's face is dispersed across four screens surrounding the Mirror into the Auntieverse. An ear on the left, an ear on the right, a close up of a face with a third eye on the backdrop terrace, and a mouth on the ceiling. Each feature opens and closes as flowers bloom and are gently blown away by the breeze. The effect is contemplative and immersive, as though the viewer has stepped inside an auntie's head, inhabiting her consciousness while she watches back.
