In MOMENTUM, I work from a single photographic image that is translated into a sequence of nearly identical paintings. Subtle variations in light, water, mist, and atmosphere create small shifts between the works, making the passage of time visible within repetition.
The series explores memory as an unstable copy of reality. Like recollection itself, the image changes through repetition, gradually losing certainty while gaining new meanings and associations.
By presenting multiple versions of the same image simultaneously, chronology becomes disrupted. Different temporal states coexist within a single viewing experience, allowing moments to overlap rather than follow a linear progression. Details become magnified, while the reliability of the original image becomes increasingly uncertain.
The paintings function as visual blueprints that can never fully reconstruct reality. Instead, they reveal how perception is shaped through repetition, fragmentation, and transformation over time. Emphasizing how memory continuously reshapes the past, MOMENTUM reflects my ongoing interest in temporality, image culture, and the fragile relationship between observation and recollection.
