Works at the threshold of photography and textile, shaping soft image-objects that respond to light, space, and the quiet drift between presence and absence.
MessageCollection: *Shadow Carrier*
The *Shadow Carrier * works explore how cast shadows behave when translated into textile form. Sublimation printing disperses the shadow across layered polyester, softening its edges into a diffused, shifting trace. The translucent veils absorb and scatter light, turning the shadow into a subtle presence that changes with the viewer’s position.
Minimal stitching gathers certain areas while leaving others open, allowing the textile to act as a soft image carrier rather than a fixed support. Across the four works, shadow becomes a responsive surface event—hovering between appearance and disappearance, and offering a quiet study of how an image can persist while remaining fluid and porous.
