Frozen Silence

Frozen Silence captures a suspended moment in early-morning Paris, just before the city resumes motion. The photograph records presence rather than narrative, treating the city as a spatial structure and time itself as the subject.

Frozen Silence functions as a temporal archive. Beyond the visible image, the work preserves the conditions of its own emergence — location, coordinates, time, device, and cryptographic traces. These elements form a system of evidence, anchoring the photograph within physical, digital, and computational space.

The image does not attempt to narrate an event. Instead, it records existence. What remains is not only what is seen, but what can be verified, decoded, and revisited in the future as a confirmed moment in time.
