Persistence gathers images in which narrative recedes and material presence comes forward. Stone, water, dust, sky, and light define the frame. These series attend to scale and texture, to surfaces marked by weather, erosion, and duration. Human figures, when present, are secondary to the physical ground they inhabit. What emerges is not event but persistence: the way matter holds time, absorbs light, and shapes perception. In these images, place is encountered at its most immediate level, before it becomes story or symbol.
