Artist Statement:

Transient is an ongoing investigation into the shifting, evolving nature of home as an attempt to understand it less as a fixed geographical location, but as an ever-changing state. I once defined home as a point of origin: a hometown, a landscape, a dwelling and a place shaped by family.

Over time, it has revealed itself instead as atmosphere, nostalgia, a nest of remembered shadows, scents, movement, warmth, and at times, worry. For me, home is constructed through memory, binding past to present.

Using the photographic process of cyanotype, I explore the tension between chance and control as a reflection of home’s evolving space. Delicate materials are covered with light sensitive solution recording the process and embracing unpredictability, allowing time and exposure to shape the final image.

In Transient, home is not singular or static; it is impermanent, shifting, layered, and continually transforming.
