Reminiscence (2025); Photo series

Reminiscence is a photographic series built around the pull of nostalgia and the unstable nature of memory. Each image begins with a moment, object, or place that once held weight, then is photographed in a way that blurs the line between documentation and recollection. Scenes appear softened, partially obscured, or tightly framed—not to romanticize the past, but to echo how memories surface: incomplete, selective, and shaped by emotion more than accuracy.

The series moves through the kinds of details the mind tends to hold onto—light falling through a doorway, the corner of a familiar room, a face turned away rather than directly toward the lens. By isolating these fragments, the photographs ask what a memory actually consists of. Is it the person? The environment? Or simply the image the mind keeps repeating long after the moment has passed?

Each photograph is constructed to slow the viewer down. The pacing of the series creates a quiet space, pushing against the speed of everyday life and offering room to sit with the past without rushing to define it. The album functions as an investigation: not a search for a single truth, but an attempt to understand how memory works, what it preserves, and how it shapes the emotional landscape of the present.

Rather than providing answers, Reminiscence holds open the question of what memories are—evidence, impressions, or something in between—and invites viewers to consider their own.
