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

The images in Topology of the Invisible emerge from analog macro photography, made with lenses that introduce blur, distortion, and shifts in scale. These imperfections are not meant to be corrected or to achieve precise representation, but to 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 references and makes scale uncertain. What remains between form and recognition opens a space for the imagination to complete the image.
