1/2 The image doesnโt say โlook at the stump,โ it says โlook at what the stump resembles.โ The enlargement works like a lens for emotions: the close-up doesnโt bring sharpness, it brings tension. What feels bodily gets stretched across time and space. I donโt see the wound, I see its echo. I donโt see the body, I see its trace. The distortion isnโt an escape from truth... itโs a way to see it differently
2/2 You could say that the photo โViolatedโ doesnโt just show loss, it splits it apart. Visually, emotionally, symbolically. And thatโs exactly why it feels so unsettling and dark. As with your work in general, the photo really makes you think.โ
