Born from loss, images reach toward one another — carrying a restless, unresolved desire across distance.
- Images, will you love one another?
Tenderly. Solemnly. Together.
In the middle of a road trip toward a nowhere that is also somewhere, I practice photography. It comes from a void — left by the men I have loved, continually renewed through their absence.
This 44-image series bears witness to an ongoing intimate transmutation: the void, experienced not only as absence but as a tragic chance. An opening — a space for drift, air for the imagination, a desert where an unstable tribe can emerge.
There were once men with whom I felt a blazing sense of contact, despite the vertiginous gap between us. There are now images brushing against one another: resonant, distant, near — foreign yet familiar, dissonant, coexisting without ever fully meeting.
Built in the tension between loss and memory, disappearance and arising, this constellation could have been titled HOMO / SEXUAL.
HOMO, from the Ancient Greek homós: similar, same, identical
SEXUAL, from the Latin sexus, from secare: to cut, to separate
You, me, them, elsewhere, here…
What binds us, truly?
