Passages of Time & Space
What we perceive at first glance is merely a fragment of the whole. A face, a body, a fleeting motion—the constructed self presented to the world. But movement has a way of unraveling those layers, revealing something beneath.
In Passages of Time & Space, motion becomes a portal—distorting, fragmenting, and expanding identity in ways that are both fluid and unpredictable. A figure walks forward, only to find multiple versions of themselves lingering in the frame. A face dissolves into light, trailing behind like a memory. A body bends, and the fabric shifts, unveiling something unfamiliar beneath. In these distortions, a question emerges: If we were able to see into each other’s inner worlds, what would be revealed?
I use my camera not to document, but to reveal another story written between the lines—a story shaped by movement, time, and perception. Using ICM photography, I work with motion as a raw material—allowing it to reshape form, distort time, and expose hidden dimensions of identity. The final images are not manipulated or layered; they are the result of a single, real-time exposure, where movement itself dictates the composition.
This collection is an exploration of transition, perception, and revelation—a meditation on what is seen, what is concealed, and what emerges when we allow ourselves to look beyond the surface.
I invite you to step into these images, not as observers, but as participants in their movement, in their unfolding—a passage through time, space, and self.
This collection began out of boredom—and a quiet curiosity about what might emerge through different movements. I was drawn to explore a technique called Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), not merely as an effect, but as a way to study the interaction between movement and subject. What began as a creative experiment gradually revealed a deeper story. Through motion, light, and repeated exploration, the images unearthed questions of identity, perception, and presence I hadn’t expected to ask. What started in play evolved into a passage—through time, space, and self.
Each photograph is captured in a single, unaltered exposure—shaped by movement, timing, and intuition. I don’t aim to control the outcome, but rather to move with the moment, letting motion become part of the composition itself. The camera becomes an extension of the body, and the resulting image is not a replication of what was seen, but a response to what was felt. There are no overlays or edits—just the trace of a real encounter, unfolding in real time.
Much of this work was sparked by digital performances and fashion shows I encountered online—fleeting moments viewed through a screen, then reimagined through the lens. Each frame holds an element of surprise—an unexpected revelation that can only be discovered by going with the flow.They begin with people—with gestures, expressions, bodies in motion—but they rarely stay that way. Through movement, the figure shifts. Identity fragments. What was once a face becomes light; a pose becomes a question.
These images live between portrait and abstraction—not fully one or the other. They are not meant to define a person, but to reflect something felt: the trace of presence, the energy of transition, the blur between what is shown and what is hidden. In that in-between space, something more intimate is often revealed.I hope it stirs curiosity—that viewers pause and ask themselves: What am I really seeing? What’s being revealed? What’s hidden? These images aren’t meant to offer clear answers. They’re invitations to linger, to question, to feel.
I want the work to open a space where perception slows down and something internal begins to move. Not just visually, but emotionally—psychologically, even spiritually. The transitions you see on the surface reflect the ones we carry within: shifts in thought, identity, memory, and time.
This collection isn’t about resolution. It’s about resonance. What matters most is what stays with you after you look away.
The title speaks to transition—not just physical movement, but the emotional and internal shifts we pass through every day. These images explore what happens in those in-between moments: the blur between who we were and who we are becoming, between memory and presence, between what is seen and what is felt.
It was also a literal passage of time and space—created during moments of stillness and solitude. The work became a portal: through the screen, through the lens, and through me. What I captured wasn’t just what I saw, but what moved through me in that space between absorption and release.
Passages of Time & Space is also a question I ask myself—how do I move through the world? What parts am I hiding? And if we could truly see into one another, what might be revealed?
