Topology of the Invisible
Look until scale is lost.
Then a forest can fit inside a leaf.
A mountain, inside a fold.
A landscape, inside almost nothing.
The world draws closer
and, within that closeness,
becomes strange.
Something appears.
We no longer know whether it was already there
or whether the gaze has just brought it into existence.

The images in Topology of the Invisible emerge from analogue macrophotography made with lenses that introduce blur, distortion, and shifts in scale. These imperfections are not meant to be corrected or to produce a precise representation; they participate in the creation of an imaginary world. The absence of color deepens this displacement: by removing a quality that often reveals the nature of what we see, black and white strips matter of its familiar reference points and makes scale uncertain. What remains between form and recognition opens a space that the imagination can complete.
