140720252 (From Silver Flesh), 2025 silver gelatin print on hand-coated rice paper 71 x 68 cm'140720252' is a large-scale analogue self-portrait produced on hand-coated rice paper. Through diluted emulsion and repeated acts of coating, immersion, and handling, the image seeps into the paper's fibres, embedding traces of bodily labour within the material. Embracing fragility, instability, and contingency, the work positions photography as a durational, embodied process in which body, material, and image remain inseparable.
