As time moves relentlessly forward, it leaves traces of the past subtle and profound etched into landscapes, objects, and human relationships.
The images in this project form components of an ethereal tapestry that weaves together echoes of the past, outlines of memories, and whispers of dreams, revealing how moments once lived continue to shape the present.
The images in this project are divided into three subgroups: dissipating relationships, forgotten relics, and fading environments. By exploring the beauty and pain of what time leaves behind, these images serve as both a meditation on impermanence and an invitation to reflect on our own fleeting existence. The images are presented as triptychs and tetraptychs that reflect the reconstructive, fragmented nature of time, recollection, and dreams. They provoke viewers to consider their own relationship with time what is lost as it passes, what is gained, and what we hope to preserve.
