Between What Was Finished and What Was Left Behind

This is not a reproduction.

This is a one-of-one photographic object.

Captured in full color and life, this image began as a traditional photograph and was intentionally transformed through direct artist intervention. Portions of the image remain unresolved by design, allowing the work to exist between completion and absence a space where time, decision, and restraint become visible.

The hand-finished elements are not edits.

They are commitments.

Once altered, the piece became irreversible.

It cannot be duplicated, reprinted, or digitally recreated even by the artist.

Printed on premium glossy archival paper using a Canon PRO-1100 pigment workflow and captured with professional full-frame equipment, the piece balances technical precision with deliberate imperfection. The result is a tension between realism and vulnerability a subject fully present, anchored against what was intentionally left undone.

This work is signed and exists as a single physical artifact.

There will never be another version.
