Residual Presence investigates the instability of human presence under different perceptual conditions. Across the series, the figure does not disappear through a single act or narrative event, but through gradual erosion, forced visibility, environmental absorption, and optical interference. Presence is approached as provisional—sometimes thinning, sometimes multiplying, sometimes collapsing under excess light.

The images alternate between controlled, durational constructions and moments of perceptual rupture, where visibility itself becomes destabilizing. In these interference states, the body fractures, burns out, smears across gesture, or survives only as projection, shadow, or trace. Absence is therefore not understood as emptiness, but as a redistribution of presence across space, light, and time.

Rather than moving toward resolution, the series sustains coexistence between states—stillness and movement, appearance and disappearance, body and environment—allowing presence to remain incomplete, unstable, and unresolved.
