Ashes of Time

Part of the Aftermath series, Ashes of Time contemplates the residue of memory— what remains when all has burned away. A lone timepiece lies half-buried in warm  terracotta dust and brittle white ash, surrounded by faint remnants of smoke. This  image captures a moment suspended between past and present, life and trace. The faded gold of the watch, dulled by fire and erosion, echoes a time once  treasured, now lost. Through controlled minimalism and symbolic staging, the work  questions the permanence of what we value, suggesting that even time, when  burned, leaves behind only fragile outlines. The piece invites reflection on the  vulnerability of memory, the silence of what’s gone, and the quiet persistence of  the things we leave behind.

Artist Statement

I use photography to explore what remains after a moment passes—the emotional residue, the unspoken and the unseen. My process is quiet and deliberate: I build symbolic scenes using objects charged with metaphor, shaping minimal compositions that carry layered meaning. I’m drawn to the aftermath of decisions, the silence that follows impact, and the tension between stillness and change. My photographs are not about the visible alone—they seek to evoke what is missing, hidden, or transformed. Shadows, textures, and controlled emptiness often speak as loudly as the subjects themselves. Through still life photography, I aim to create contemplative images that serve as mirrors for the viewer—reflecting the subtle disruptions, sacrifices, and awakenings that define the human experience.
