"Ephemeral" explores the fleeting nature of moments and how they evolve into fragmented memories over time. Through multiple exposures and abstract overlays, the collection captures the fluid, ever-changing way we internalize and reshape our experiences.
Ephemeral – A Photographic Study on Transient Memories
The "Ephemeral" collection invites viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of moments and how they live on in our memories. Just as the moments we experience disappear from the physical world, they continue to exist within us, fragmented and shaped by our emotions, perceptions, and the passage of time.
Using techniques like multiple exposures, Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), and image overlays in post-production, "Ephemeral" visually represents the imperfections and fragmentation of memories. The photos don’t show sharp, clear scenes but rather a blend of colors, shapes, and textures that symbolize how our memories overlap and shift as days, months, and years go by. Over time, the specific details fade away, leaving behind blurred impressions, subjective interpretations, and even new layers of meaning.
Each viewer is encouraged to interpret these images uniquely, just as each person carries a different perception of the same moment in time. When observing the photographs, the memories they evoke vary from person to person, as do the feelings and interpretations that emerge in the process.
The image presented in this collection exemplifies this approach. With its ethereal tones and abstract overlays, it hints at how memories are lived within us: as a collage of impressions that grow more complex and distant as time moves forward.
"Ephemeral" is, above all, a tribute to impermanence – a celebration of how we carry these fragments of life within us, constantly transforming them.
