at the threshold of presence and absence, an image isolates a fragment of reality even as it gestures toward what lies beyond its frame. Framed in light and shadow, each image unfolds as a palimpsest of memory and desire. Tension: between the world lived and the world represented, between the evidentiary claim of the visible and the silent testimony of what cannot be shown. In this space, every image functions as an archive of losses—a constellation where meaning is written in the margins of unspoken shadows.
