Narratives and Visual Journals (always in progress)
Description
Working with personal historical photographs, my practice is centered on lingering—allowing myself and viewers to dwell in the liminal space where time no longer follows a straight line but instead unfolds as fragmented, overlapping moments. Inspired by hauntology, this approach embraces the spectral qualities of memory and history, where the past continually haunts the present.
In these disjointed moments, the photographs become more than static objects; they act as conduits for stories that reveal themselves gradually and organically. The images speak across time, inviting a dialogue between what was, what is, and what could be, enabling narratives to emerge from the silences, absences, and echoes embedded in the visuals.
Through this process, my art reveals not fixed histories but dynamic, evolving conversations—between image and viewer, past and present—that challenge linear temporality and open space for reflection, reconstruction, and reinterpretation of personal and collective memory.
This practice of dwelling with photographs in these hauntological spaces allows the artwork to become a living archive of stories, revealing the unseen and lingering traces that shape our understanding of time, identity, and history.
