                                                                Until It Ends, since 2025

                                                                Until It ends is built around a single black-and-white photograph that is reused throughout the project.

                                                                Rather than developing a narrative, the work focuses on how the image shifts when placed in different environments. Light, shadow, surface, and surrounding structures alter its visibility. The image is often only partially visible—cropped, obscured, or fragmented within the frame. What is repeated is a series of situated encounters shaped by position, attention, and context.

                                                                Through this process, repetition moves attention away from what the image depicts toward how it operates. The image absorbs external conditions and becomes subject to interruption and variation. Meaning emerges through these changes rather than through representation.

                                                                The work is presented as pairs arranged within four sections, each introduced by a poem that describes a different state of looking, allowing small changes in density, openness, rhythm and resistance to become visible through comparison.

                                                                Display: framed 10 × 8 inch C-type photographs
