Until It ends examines how an image behaves through repetition, duration, and changing conditions of display and observation. The work 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 not a fixed image, but 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.

Until It ends focuses on how an image persists under changing conditions, and how visibility, structure, and attention are continuously reconfigured.
