Remanence
88 Tokens
Remanence is concerned with what persists when an image can no longer resolve.
When the human face is recorded across time rather than captured in a single instant, identity fractures. What remains is not a portrait, but a residue — evidence of form stretched, repeated, and displaced by duration.
Faces as signal
Remanence treats the human face as a spatial signal rather than a subject. Facial form exists as geometry, carried by points of light rather than surfaces or texture.
By refusing photographic density, the work prevents identity from stabilising. The face remains legible, but never fully present.
Recording, not rendering
Each image is constructed as a record of exposure rather than a rendered illustration. Motion across time is allowed to accumulate, producing visible red‑shift and blue‑shift echoes.
These spectral afterimages are not effects applied to an image, but consequences of duration acting on form.
Residual impressions
Remanence presents what remains after time interferes with representation. Identity dissolves, but structure persists.
The work stands as evidence — not of a person, but of form enduring across time.

Manor
Manor is a photographic archive of European country estates spanning centuries of architectural evolution, documenting layered histories of rural residences, interiors, gardens and grounds.
Vestige
Vestige is a photographic record of the remains of a civilisation that may never have existed: monumental stone figures whose faces offer no clear distinction between portrait and subject.
Caustic
Caustic is a study in purity under assault. Minimal geometric forms — circles, squares, bars, planes — placed against soft neutral fields. Perfect shapes eroded by chemical light, corroded edges, pigment burn, structural decay, and caustic dissolution.
Every token is a meditation on tension: order versus breakdown, geometry versus entropy, serenity versus corrosion. A single shape becomes a battlefield for chemical destruction.
