Phantom Frames is not an attempt to seek beauty, but to attend to subtle displacement where presence brushes against absence within vision.
The city does not appear directly. It emerges within reflective surfaces—convex traffic mirrors and vehicle side mirrors—where space is delayed, distorted, and out of alignment. Th
I photograph only what arises within these reflective interiors. Something undeniably appears, yet it is already receding. The moment it is perceived, it withdraws.
By removing all context outside the reflective surface, the image is severed from its surroundings and suspended in darkness. Deprived of reference, it no longer relies on narrative and exists as a self-contained field.
Reality becomes reflection, and reflection becomes photograph. What remains is not the event itself, but a trace—an image that cannot be fully grasped, persisting between presence and absence.
