I initially propose a printed publication, an artist book combining textual and photographic essays that present my research as a fragmented, non-linear experience – an invitation to navigate presence through absence. Rather than offering a resolved narrative, the work will invite the reader to become an active participant, assembling meaning through movement, memory, and imaginative engagement.

This open-ended format will reflect my approach to making: a meditative practice of collecting and composing from fragments, gestures and memories. The book will operate as an interstitial space, where materials-image-language meet in moments of overlap.

Influenced by Mona Hatoum’s artist portfolio, hair there and every where (2004), and John Berger’s printed book, Ways of Seeing (1972), my work will consider how meaning emerges in layers – through what is visible, concealed, experienced, and remembered. Not as a resolution but a holding space. A tactile archive of interstitial experience, relational memory and embodied materiality.
