The summoning of the subtle passing interventions, that negotiates around the non-tangible passing of time, the organic ripples that results from external forces and contributions, orchestrates the basis of the context, of the given environment to which forms the architectural spatial framing of my workings. Bringing context, light, to the ‘pseudo-events’ within the given time frame of the working day, the notion of the intangible ‘in-between’ time, echoes the paradoxical material act of the light box; illuminating the heterogeneous layers, of the passing shape of time.


Through the act, of bringing precedence to a sequential non descript accountability of time denotations, brings into question the mirroring hybrid of concrete accountability, and it’s validity in relation to the subtext. The submersion of the failing act of time, the objective and subjective nature that correlate around the sphere, suggests a cohesive equilibrium to the act, and the aspiring capture of what has been. The act of capturing fragmented moments reinstates, the reflective ability to dissect the subtle interventions unperceived by us, in this constant flux of possibility.


Condensing time into the concrete real, allows an element of the tangible within the given parameters. The decisive acts of the camera, the setting of the shutter speed, the attempt of pervasive balance in negotiation with the fluidity of time and it’s multiple realms, gestures a framing of a discrete moment. Within the given architectural encompass, the elemental contributions that subliminally create an explorative relation between the possibility of the potential intervals between the duality of the space and, as the inhibitor within the temporary intervals, reinstates the magic of the ephemeral modes of time.
