TWICE

What holds a memory together when the pieces no longer match? Taken on film, Twice dwells in the gaps of daily life — the misfit details, the near-repetitions, the moments that slip even as we look at them.

Twice is a series of diptych film photographs exploring the fragility of memory and the quiet dissonances embedded in everyday life.

Heraclitus observed that no one steps into the same river twice — not because the river changes, but because both the river and the person are always becoming something else. Memory operates similarly. We return to it expecting repetition and find instead a thing subtly altered, a detail misplaced, a feeling that no longer quite fits the image it belongs to.

Each photograph in this series pairs two frames that appear, at first glance, identical. They are not. The differences between them — sometimes stark, sometimes barely perceptible — enact the unreliability of recollection itself. Within individual images, too, there are misfits: objects and moments that resist the coherence of the scenes they inhabit, held in place by some invisible thread rather than any clear logic.

Shot on 135mm films, the series embraces the medium's own relationship with time and imperfection — its grain, its slight unpredictability — as formal extensions of the theme. Memory, like film, is a chemical process. It changes with exposure.
