Time of Adolescence Series (1998–2006)

''Confession'' (2000–2002), ''Before They Were Beatles'' (2004) and ''Sweet Dreams'' (2002) developed the subjects of genetic memory and the theme of war. The videos aim to assert the postulation that "memory is perhaps genetically transferred from generation to generation." ''Confession'' had a multi-channel narrative sequence and examined migrant literary characters which also appeared in ''Closer to Fall'', ''Awakening'', ''Route 17N'', and ''The Sound and the Fury.'' In 2007, Tim White completed a series of large scale photographs and a video titled ''Awakening'' and in 2008, as an expansion on the same theme, ''Route 17 North.'' The series’ near-repetition rhythm reveals an image of an American youth at the beginning of the 21st century, in the world of

The work exhibited in the US was received as "astounding."

Terminal Series (2000–2005)

The ''Terminal Series'' consists of a series of videos ''Terminal by Day (I),'' ''Terminal at Night (II),'' ''Terminal Dream (III),'' ''On the Wing (IV),'' and ''Terminal Heart (V)''). ''Terminal (I)'' originated immediately after the events of September 11 in

The loss of much of his artwork and the possible loss of life had a fundamental impact on his creativity and artistic vision, spawning the ''Terminal Series.'' Between 2004 and 2006, Tim White-Sobieski created several abstract-figurative video compositions: ''New York City Suite,'' ''Vertigo,'' and ''Desire'' among them. The artist continued working in the direction of music-visual synthesis, developing new methods and

There, the artist not only explored the structures of New York's landscape, the face of the city, in concrete, steel, and glass, but he also offered a psychological portrait of

residents he saw in the streets, neither friends nor important personae. Based on images of many metropolitan cities of the world, ''Deconstructed Reality'' followed. This project is ongoing and ultimately planned to include images of many global metropolises such as
