Erasing, Eroding, Emerging, Extending

Traces and Echoes is a visual exploration of memory, transformation, and the delicate imprints we leave on the world. The project reveals how time shapes both flesh and terrain, layering presence through what endures and what vanishes.

The series grows from the understanding that we exist in conversation with our surroundings, our bodies carrying the gestures, movements, and longings of those who came before. The camera doesn't capture fixed memories but witnesses the exchange between erosion and emergence, tracing the slow friction that reworks past into texture, memory, and pattern.

In these images, silence holds weight. Water reflects, stone endures, light transforms, these elements become active participants in a choreography of time, whispering that we are not fixed but fluid, sedimentary, constantly returning. The boundaries between present and past, substance and shadow, dissolve into a world where negative space speaks volumes.

These images resist interpretation, inviting us instead to witness. They capture the tension between permanence and impermanence; how our bodies, like landscapes, bear silent testimony to time's passage. The leaf impressions across skin speak not of growth but of imprint; how external forces leave their mark upon us, changing us irrevocably. They remind us that memory isn't just stored but embodied, it shapes, erodes, and reconstitutes who we are, long after the original moment has faded.
