Statement

My practice lies at the intersection of image and writing, informed by my background in philosophy. I work primarily with black and white photography and intervene in some images through text, sewing, and embroidery. Through these resources, I seek to open a space of attention and contemplation where the minimal, the fragile, and the barely perceptible can acquire substance. My work stems from a sustained observation of the everyday: that which often goes unnoticed due to its subtlety or apparent insignificance. I am interested in the experience of time not as something that can be fixed, but as that which, in the very act of its manifestation, vanishes. My research is articulated in this impossibility of fully capturing the instant. This way of seeing originates in the writing in my “notebooks of wonder,” where I record fragments of experience and small irruptions of beauty in the everyday. Over time, this practice extended to photographic images as a way of collecting traces of presence and dwelling on that which appears and disappears. In some works, the photograph becomes a support on which I continue to work: I write, sew, or embroider on the surface as a gesture of persistence. These interventions do not seek to decorate the image, but rather to prolong its temporality, to leave traces, to point to the vulnerability of the moment, and to reveal the always partial desire to remain. I work from that interstice: the gap between what appears and what is lost, between presence and its dissolution. My search lies there: in that which never fully becomes, yet persists.
