Shadow practice

In Shadow Practice, the shadow appears as a secondary, lateral presence. It does not claim identity but engages in indirect encounters approaching, reaching, testing distance across multiple places and unstable conditions.

These photographs emerge from a lateral relationship. The shadow is always conditioned by light, surface, and the place where it falls. It does not occupy the center nor assert an identity; it exists in relation to what is in front of it.

Each image proposes an indirect contact. The shadow approaches, measures distance, probes, plays, or attempts to reach something or someone. At times the gesture is minimal; at others, it borders on the absurd or the unsettling. What is constructed is not an interiority, but a series of situations sustained through the projection of an encounter.

The practice was not a prior decision. The images come to be recognized as a body of work only afterward, when the archive reveals an insistence: to establish a relationship, a connection, under conditions that are never fully controlled.
