“Observation in Memory”

This series looks at painting with light through photography, incorporating shutter drag with intentional movement to create dream-like visuals with impressionist textures. I used this style to depict the temporality associated with memory and its susceptibility to blur with time.

It’s our human instinct to constantly observe people, behaviours, and the lived environments that are ever-changing. I find myself in these moments as the observer, unaware of people's motives and the surrounding environment. I’m never aware of the full picture, only vague figures, shapes, and colours remain. Countless moments pass by me, blurring and distorting themselves from realistic form.
