In my work, photography isn’t printed on a surface; it’s embedded into it. Using a technique I developed myself, I transfer images into marble concrete through a process similar to drypoint etching. The result is a photograph that carries weight, not just conceptually, but physically.
That weight changes how we relate to the image. Marble concrete has mass, and with mass comes potential energy, the quiet possibility of movement, of falling. This latent tension shapes the way we perceive the work. Even when perfectly still, the object suggests force held in place.
This subtle presence of potential energy enhances the monumental feel of the image itself. What might otherwise be a delicate or fleeting photographic moment, becomes something grounded, dense and impossible to ignore. It’s no longer just a picture to be viewed, it becomes an image you stand before.
By fusing image and structure, I explore how photography can operate outside its traditional, fragile form, how it can carry presence, permanence, and a quiet, sculptural tension.
