The series Layers of Time was created in darkness, where old portraits from the village of Pissoderi re-emerged as luminous presences.
Projected onto surfaces of decay — a broken window, worn textures — and photographed once again, their faces merge with branches, cracks, stains, forming layers of time and memory. The gaze penetrates these layers and becomes an act of remembrance. It does not merely observe; it returns. Light reveals what time attempted to erase. Through distortion and re-emergence, the figures meet the viewer anew. Each image becomes a ritual dialogue between what once existed and what the gaze recreates. A moment where photography does not freeze time, but opens it — allowing us to see it again.
