Unbecoming

2024
Photography, long exposure & light painting

Unbecoming explores identity not as something fixed, but as something continuously formed, questioned and released. Rather than asking who we are becoming, the work considers what might emerge when we begin to shed expectations and inherited ideas of who we are supposed to be.

Created through long exposure and light painting, bodies appear, move and dissolve into darkness. Light simultaneously reveals and obscures, allowing the camera to record not only a person, but time, movement and uncertainty. Portraiture becomes less about representation than transformation: a temporary state that resists being fully captured.
