The following images are a mix of negatives captured in various locations and later combined. My intention is to shed a faint light on dynamics that keep recurring—they are fragments of an opaque and buried intimacy.
I define them as "visions" because they stem from the need to surrender myself once again to that liquid and polymorphic zone I inhabit every night. They belong to a dead present that, through its repetition, continues to fascinate and unsettle me—a dream that, by mutating, relies on its visual representation to offer answers that are clear only in their immediate perception.

The monochrome aesthetic is fundamental to the metamorphosis; the eye of darkness is essential for a faithful and profound perception of the event.

Everything implodes and crystallizes into a point of view that ceases to be subjective, shifting instead to a faceless third-person perspective. In essence, this is all I remember or perhaps the only thing I have repressed.
