PENTIMENTI – SHADOWS – MURMURATIONS
Delving through past and unseen
The camera scura, serves both as method and metaphor in this series, in literally obscuring and abstracting forms, while also making a statement about the nature of memory and perception. Exploring the contrast between light and shadow, presence and absence, using abstraction to evoke the ghosts of memory, much like the camera scura creates a ghostly projection of the outside world. .
The tight boundaries between humanity, biodiversity, and the universe creates a space were resilience, interconnectedness, and cosmic forces come together.
These concepts, when viewed through the lenses of the camera scura, offer a multi-layered reflection on perception, survival, and the impossible journey through trauma—whether individual, collective, or planetary.
This interconnected vision offers endless possibilities for exploring how life, nature, and the cosmos mirrors each other in cycles of creation, destruction, and resilience.
Exploring specific ways to bring this cosmic interconnectedness into an abstract visual language, who also delve into more concrete visual or poetic strategies for expressing these ideas.
PENTIMENTI
Pentimenti shows us that even when something seems covered or forgotten, it is still there, influencing the present.
Human emotions, such as resilience, suffering, and hope, are tied to the same forces that govern the biological cycles of life and death in the natural world, and the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction in the universe. These are all part of the same narrative.
SHADOWS 2024 – 2025
These boundaries are perhaps illusionary, much like the way light and shadow in the camera scura distort and bend the familiar into the unfamiliar. Just as shadows blur the edges of a form, the reflections suggest that the human experience is not separate from the natural world or the cosmic forces that shape existence.
Shadows, on the other hand, remind us of what we can’t fully see, the areas of life or memory that remain elusive.
