This series centers on the perception of time and the nature of visual memory. It is based on materials from my personal photo archive. Through painting, I analyze the photographic image and its relationship to my own memory — reactivating and reliving forgotten moments that had long remained hidden in the folds of the archive. In bringing the past back into the field of perception, I don’t aim to reconstruct its original form. Instead, I preserve the traces of time, loss, and forgetting, creating distance through painterly means.

These works represent a kind of “ghost’s gaze” directed at the archive — an attempt to move beyond automatic seeing and capture peripheral visual events. I am not interested in the documented event itself, but in its “shadow” — the fleeting moment that never solidified into memory. These scenes allow me to speak about how experience is formed — not as a continuous flow, but as a chain of isolated flashes of awareness, between which a true but elusive reality unfolds.
