Series - In the Shape of Time
In – In the Shape of Time –, nature reveals itself as a mirror of the very act of existing. Flowers, leaves, and fragments of organic matter are crossed by light — not as documentation, but as a capture of the instant. Photography here becomes a gesture of pause, a space for contemplation and resistance in the face of the world’s acceleration.
Between presence and disappearance, the image captures time folding back onto itself: what is born already begins to unravel, and within this brief interval lies the beauty that persists. The Shape of Time is an invitation to observe the ephemeral as permanence — a way of listening to the silent rhythm of life that continues, even when everything seems to cease.
The series proposes a visual investigation into the relationship between nature, matter, and duration. Through photography — and through processes that move between the analog and the digital — the work proposes a pause, contemplation as a form of resistance to contemporary speed.
The images explore the passage and persistence of time within living matter: vegetal fragments that become metaphors for what resists dissolution. The series seeks to make visible the interval between being and disappearance, where time is not measured, but felt.
