Untitled (Shade Cloth), 2024 gelatin silver print 16 x 16.5 cm

'Untitled (Shade Cloth)' is a study of surface as a register of time and perception. Part of my ongoing series On Land, it centres on a torn, weathered shade cloth – suspended between utility and collapse. In its compromised state, it speaks to impermanence and quiet endurance. I aim to invite a slower kind of looking: not to resolve or interpret, but to remain – to engage with what so often slips just outside the frame of attention.
