SOFT BODY
This series embraces the imperfections inherent to antiquated photographic processes, transforming traditional portrait photography from the representational to the ephemeral.
Chemistry, dust, and the passage of time interact with the image, marking the negative. Much like flesh, these negatives change. Recognizable features fade, gestures disappear, obscuring the subject’s identity. The making of an image is an intimate performance choreographed instantly, although the photograph will continue to evolve. There is tension and sensuality to these photographs. Darkness enfolds the figure, while light directs the viewer's gaze. They are psychological explorations of intimacy, uncertainty, and chance.
