floating smoke and passing clouds

The artist explores memory's fragility through photography, using gelatin etching on silver halide paper to reflect memory's fading and selective nature. This process metaphorically captures the transient essence of recollections, transforming images into

In this series of works, the author enlarges the negatives onto silver halide photographic paper and then manually processes the paper using alternative techniques. What he seeks is not just a re-presentation of the fading of memory, but a deeper exploration and presentation of the selective nature of memory. This process, combined with the action of photography, is an attempt by the author to express the dissolution, fixation, and derivation of memory.

Intentional alterations to these photographs are similar to the way memories fade and distort over time. As the "etched" historical context is repurposed, it reflects the disintegration of memory, with the remnants of the images becoming relics of once vivid moments. This is a visual exploration of the instability of memory and an experiment by the author to express the ephemeral nature of the passage of time through the language of imagery.
