in the End; our Beginning, 2024, ongoing

in the End; our Beginning is a series of one-of-a-kind gelatin silver photographic prints, aged and transformed through the Patina process.

Time reshapes all things in the natural world, aging and altering surfaces through oxidation and erosion. This series mirrors these phenomena, embracing Patina as both a visual language and a meditation on mortality. Each piece contemplates the cycles of creation and dissolution—the fleeting nature of existence, the acceptance of endings, and the resonance found in what remains.

Cameraless and shaped by alchemical processes, these prints embody the beauty of degradation over time. Imbued with their own agency, each print records traces of transition where permanence and transience intertwine, weaving a tapestry of oneness. The Patinas become sacred artifacts of transformation, honoring the forces of life, death, and renewal. They remind us that we are part of the web of life, bridging earthly and cosmic realms.
