Suturing distances (series)
photographic print on fabric, hand stitching

my cousin and me
my mother and father
my grandmother and me
my partner and me
Across the works, the stitching of photographs depicting people close to me destabilizes the distinction between front and back, image and trace. Each side carries the trace of the other, so that what appears on one surface is always shaped by what cannot be seen on the reverse. Through the act of stitching, closeness and distance emerge within the same photographic plane. Rather than resolving into a fixed relation, the works sustain a condition in which boundaries remain unsettled, and meaning emerges through shifting correspondences between surfaces.
本シリーズでは、身近な人々を写した写真の縫い合わせによって、表と裏、イメージと痕跡の区別が揺らいでいる。片側に現れる痕跡は常に反対側の影響を受けており、どちらの面にも完全な中心は存在しない。縫うという行為によって、近さと隔たりが同一の平面の中に立ち現れる。関係は固定されることなく、表面同士のずれや呼応の中で意味が立ち上がっている。
