Elapsed

I’ve always been fascinated by how time moves—not just in a straight line, but in quiet, circular ways. I’m not interested in what time takes away but in what it leaves behind. A crease in fabric, a scratch on leather, a faded photo—these marks feel more alive to me than untouched perfection. This project began with a simple thought: what if we paid attention to the small things time touches? I started collecting objects, memories, and materials that carried these silent imprints. They weren’t broken; they were full of stories. I realized that time doesn’t just erode—it writes. For me, this is a gentle way of seeing. I don’t want to fight time or pretend it isn’t passing. I want to listen to it. The traces it leaves—unexpected, accidental, beautiful—remind me that something happened here, that someone was here. In a way, this work is my way of saying, Time, I see you. And thank you for what you left behind.
