About Reincarnation in Silence 


I am obsessed with visions in scenes,

not being able to recognize purity of scenes.

A scene generates a vision in cycle,

A purity follows the previous purity in succession.

In the production of this image, the photographer combines pinhole imaging with 

wet plate collodion. Each glass bead is used as a pinhole camera to display images which can be erased and then revived. 

The cycle repeats itself as images appear, vanish, reappear and vanish again…….

Final traces are taken and perceived to disperse confusion. 

When an idea emerges, another dies, still another takes shape. 

When the world falls into silence, reincarnation is taking place.
