Time Stamps - Rendering the Invisible
Time is a concept without consensus - elusive and difficult to define. Albert Einstein described it as relative to the observer, a dimension that does not flow, but simply is. While Quantum physics suggests that time exists only when things change in relation to one another.
For this project, I present eleven photographs printed on mirrors, each embedded with my perceptions and interpretations of time.
Each image acts as a timestamp - capturing a layered process, a fleeting sensation, a shift across time.
Ghostly blurs linger on the mirrored surfaces - recording movement, imprinting light, and marking time.
Mirrors both reveal and conceal - reflecting what is, yet fragmenting reality and distorting the perception of time.
Through these mirrored images, the observer is invited into a shared space where reflection, presence, and perception converge - collapsing the dimension of space-time between viewer and viewed.
Each photograph also bears witness to my own experience of time: long exposures demand patience and time; the square format grounds me in space-time; glass mirrors obscure time; self-portraits simplify time; a black background evokes infinite time.
This project is a meditation on the evolving notion of time and a visual expression of change made manifest through the imprint of light onto glass over time.
