THINGS THAT REFUSE TO SETTLE working with black-and-white photographs created through chemical interventions, solarisation, and Instax film, this body of work studies the residue of emotion and the slow sedimentation of memory. Images emerge through a fragile process of reversal and delay—between light and darkness, between exposure and concealment. The project reflects on the ways photography can carry psychological weight, becoming a second skin that absorbs and releases traces of lived experience.
My practice situates photography as a meditative process that observes emotional density through materials. It investigates how the instability of the photographic surface mirrors the instability of identity, geography, and time.
