The Hollowing

This series confronts the aftermath of disappearance, where identity is stripped to its faintest trace. The figures stand in pairs yet never meet, one seeming to linger in the wake of the other. Faces fade into the surrounding haze, their features hollowed by time and silence. What remains is neither absence nor fullness, but the haunting imprint of what has been taken.

The imagery captures the violence of erasure and the endurance that follows it. In a world marked by displacement and the silencing of truth, these figures become witnesses to what persists beyond recognition. Their veiled forms mourn without spectacle, transforming loss into a still and solemn endurance. Within their quiet, light and ash intermingle, creating a fragile equilibrium between remembrance and release.

At its core, The Hollowing is a meditation on survival after vanishing. The layers of shadow and faint illumination reveal identities reduced yet not erased, refined into essence rather than void. These works do not seek comfort; they create space for witnessing, allowing absence to speak and silence to become its own form of testimony.
