"It is an observation of the 'sweet' as something volatile, uncontainable, and profoundly temporary"

This body of work is a formal investigation into the volatility of materials and the limitations of the archive. Through a series of experiments pairing melted-sugar glass with mirrors, stone, and traditional frames, I examine the threshold at which a material refuses to be contained.
My practice here centers on the instability of the gaze. In attempting to document a substance that transitions from solid to liquid in a matter of seconds, photography becomes a futile effort to capture a "flawless" state. The resulting works—marked by shattered surfaces and fragmented photographic sequences—record the shock of thermal change and the inevitability of decay.
Ways of Seeing is an archive of these fleeting moments. It explores the tension between the desire to contain an idea and the reality of a material that refuses to stay still. It is an observation of the "sweet" as something volatile, uncontainable, and profoundly temporary.
