Culture & Context

Waiting is a work in process while handwritten letters are being written and sent out to people of interest in an attempt to fuel the confessional aspect of writing to someone. This series is then, an attempt to express or anticipate expectations by casting them away, about protagonists and their stories, about inspirations, fortuitousness, uncertainty, distance. Photosensitive and its intermediary results are in line with an important assumption of this work: the delay, the unforeseen and absence of absolute control.
