Visual Diary is an ongoing project, an intimate journey through time, memory, and perception. It captures fleeting, frozen moments and invites viewers to become present. reflection and introspection. They remind us that meaning often lives in the unnoticed and the ephemeral.
In times of turmoil and division, it feels urgent to return to the simple, profound truths: love, trust, the grace of welcoming and being welcomed, the safety of being in another’s arms. A hug is more than tenderness.
It is a quiet confrontation — a soft collision where two selves dissolve, where borders blur. For a breath, we are wholly present for one another. Almost becoming one. Between Skins seeks to capture that fleeting instant of closeness — the charged space just before contact,
when only a thin breath of air separates two bodies. What becomes of this tension? Where does it go? Suspended and waiting, as time seems to hold its breath? What if, in that pause, we sink into ourselves ?
What if we long to merge entirely, to lose our edges? In these moments of stillness, with bodies intertwined as if outside of time, fragments of thought intrude, dissolve, transform. We dematerialize. For a fraction of a second, there is freedom.
It
reclaims the gallery’s neural space, transforming it into a vessel for memory. Within it, fragments of a home emerge: pieces of walls, traces of furniture, echoes of life. Together they conjure a surreal re-creation of an interior, as if stepping inside someone’s private mind.
The notion of the house is both material and immaterial, it’s a container for emotions, memories and the presence of those who shaped us. It becomes a safe haven, a place of reunion, where intimacy and connection can resurface. Black-and-white photography accompanies the installation,
emphasizing the timelessness of human need: for tenderness, for love, for the warmth of embrace. These images suspend fragments of memory, inviting us to linger within fleeting recollections.
