Echoes from His House
In this collection, captured through the lens of a medium format Mamiya film camera, I delve into the realm of memory and loss within the walls of my late grandfather's house. Each photograph is a silent testament to the spaces and objects left untouched after his passing, focusing on those with personal memories attached. This process was not just an act of documentation but a personal journey to connect with his lingering presence. The aesthetic simplicity, the deadpan approach to composition, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow seek to evoke the quietude and introspection that accompanied my visits. The choice of film as a medium adds a layer of intimacy and timelessness, emphasizing the textures and nuances of these moments suspended between past and present.
This series is an exploration of grief and remembrance, an attempt to hold onto the ephemeral traces of a life once lived. It invites viewers into a space of reflection, encouraging them to find beauty and meaning in the everyday and the overlooked. Through these images, I aim to share the profound experience of seeking connection and continuity in the face of absence, crafting a tribute to my grandfather that transcends the visual to touch on the universal experiences of love, loss, and memory.
