This series examines the tidal flat as a shifting surface where time is registered through light, residue and interruption. Each image explores a moment where the boundary between water and land becomes unstable, through reflection, sediment and subtle variation.
The sequence moves from openness to compression, where light intensifies and the surface becomes momentarily unified (Meridian), before being disrupted by the intrusion of form (Displacement). This break reasserts depth and objecthood, interrupting the continuity established across the earlier images. The final image returns to stillness, where distinctions dissolve and the surface becomes quiet again.
Rather than documenting a landscape, this work considers how time accumulates and disperses. What remains is not the event itself, but its trace.
