All figures depicted are sculptural forms, distanced from the bodies they once referred to. They exist as traces of earlier presences, shaped through acts of translation and remembrance. Through photography, these forms enter another cycle, where what has been fixed in stone is encountered again as something carried forward, holding fragments of gesture, posture, and attention.

This cycle is mirrored in the process itself. Each image begins as a digital capture, is translated into a Polaroid, and then physically lifted and repositioned onto paper. Through capture, transfer, and placement, the image undergoes its own transformation, bending, fragmenting, and reforming as a material surface. Ephemerality emerges not as disappearance, but as recurrence, where the body persists through continual becoming, carried across form, image, and material.
