Bitter Orange
My work is rooted in an ongoing exploration of territory: the way places shape our perception, our memories, and our sense of belonging. In this series, I immersed myself in the imagery of the Wild West and discovered within it a profound sense of silence. Silence is a dimension I explore throughout my work not as an absence, but as a form of presence. For me, the desert became a space where traces of another time, solitude, and waiting coexist. I then chose a deliberately aged and dusty treatment to blur temporal references and suspend the images between past and present.
