Archiving Existence
In the material world, everything goes through a life cycle—from birth to disappearance. This cycle can shift in an instant or unfold over a long period. While these things may one day vanish from the real world, within my photographs, their existence is recorded forever. By removing all text from the image and showing only the object itself, I aim to enhance its presence and encourage viewers to focus on its form and structure.
In this age of information overload, many things are quickly buried and forgotten. Through photography, I try to give eternal visibility to what is overlooked or fading away.
