The Hesitation of the Image
2025

We pass through countless scenes each day.
They remain at the periphery of our vision, unspoken, unrecorded—fading before they are ever fully seen.
This work is an attempt to focus on such images: those embedded in the everyday, yet already on the verge of vanishing.
Captured in high resolution, the photographic image is disrupted in the act of printing.
By deliberately presenting an image that resists stabilization, the work reveals the fragile boundaries between seeing, recording, and forgetting.
What would typically be expected to reproduce faithfully as a photograph is instead rendered unstable.
Through this gesture, the work gives material form to the imperfection of preservation and the inevitable leakage of memory.
What is revealed is not a complete picture, but rather fragments of unrecorded time, emotions that never found language, memories that never quite took shape.
It is a quiet gaze cast upon those delicate presences that have slipped through the cracks of the world.
This is not merely the depiction of collapse, but an inquiry into the richness that lies just before the image comes into being.
By embracing incompleteness, the work invites us to reconsider what we have overlooked in the act of seeing.
It is a silent requiem for the unnoticed fragments—those that dissolved within the vast, transparent vessel we call the everyday.
