I / WE / YOU / DISAPPEAR
All end of all life is (extra)ordinary, merging unexpected new beginnings. Shaped and patterned independently of our will. Temporal solutions to eternal processes.
I / We / You / Disappear traces the continuity of life through transformation and re-emergence. The work reflects on the cyclical processes through which all beings, human and more-than-human, interweave and return.
What fades does not vanish. What ends - transforms. Each image carries the residue of something reshaping itself.
This is a project about ecology as a relation, not environment. The bare feet on grass, the wedding veil, the elderly woman in contemplation; these are not isolated subjects but moments in systems of growth, decay, and memory. Mandarin oranges await their slow transformation. Hands reach across age. Misty landscapes dissolve boundaries between figure and ground.
Life here is not defined by permanence, but by transition. The photographs neither mourn nor celebrate these shifts; they witness them. Through my lens, I document these thresholds where one state of being passes into another, where human and non-human elements exchange qualities and purposes.
These moments are not symbolic, but material. They emerge from my daily practice of seeing myself as a participant rather than an observer. The project asks: What do we become when we accept that our shape is temporary? That our memories, our movements, even our grief, are parts of a larger metabolism?
These photographs offer no fixed narrative. Instead, they participate in the ancient language of appearing and disappearing; of becoming stone, water, shadow, light. They invite viewers to sense how lives and relationships continue in forms we might not immediately recognise.
The images do not end. They return - quietly, differently - in the warm pattern left on the bed sheets, in the blur of motorcyclists merging with the open road, in the body restlessly pressing its weight against the surface, all slowly becoming part of the earth's texture where "I" dissolve into "we", where "you" become "it", and where the most intimate moments we shared reveal our profound, eternal, cyclical interconnectedness.
