Not a tool. A way of slipping the surface.

Images begin in focus—observed, held, almost understood.
But I’m drawn to where that clarity starts to falter.

Through paint, gesture, and light, I interfere with the image—
not to obscure it, but to loosen its grip.

What was stable begins to shift.
Edges soften. Meaning drifts.

Photography starts the conversation.
The rest is interruption.

I layer, alter, and disturb the surface
until seeing is no longer enough—
until it asks something back.

These are not documents.
They are perceptual events.

A moment, opened slightly past recognition.
A surface that won’t fully resolve.

You don’t just look through this lens—
you feel where it gives way.
