{memory and impermanence}

More than merely recording a landscape, this diptych reveals the marks of time inscribed upon the terrain. The dead trees and their reflections transform into traces of environmental and historical processes that go beyond what the image shows at first glance.
Photography thus takes on the nature of a true crystal window: a revealing device capable of making hidden dimensions of the landscape visible and expanding our perception of the world we inhabit.

Traces of the Future
(from the project Parallel Worlds: a poetics through photographic polyptychs)

There are landscapes that seem to exist between two times: that of presence and that of memory. In this pair of diptychs from the Parallel Worlds project, trees, water, fire, and reflections compose a transitional territory, where the landscape reveals subtle signs of a world in transformation.
The images aim not merely to record places, but to capture states of permanence and fragility. These visual records thus become a trace of a time in which past, present, and future coexist. The landscapes function as an archive of signs—indications of the future—transforming into a kind of silent witness to the changes underway on Earth and signaling that the future is not distant, but can already be perceived in the marks inscribed upon the present.
These images engage with the Anthropocene, as they present a nature that can no longer be understood as separate from human action.
