This four-month immersion into the analog ritual was the essential, challenging catalyst for "Vision in Contrast." My decision to seek out a new country and advanced training led me into a demanding practice that spans traditional black and white printing to the materiality of liquid emulsion. The project is a rigorous, deeply personal study of how light, process, and tonal tension construct meaning. Working with photochemical processes and film was a deliberate commitment to technical mastery; every necessary redo and grain in an "imperfect" print is retained as an irreplaceable trace of the technical hurdles overcome and the personal growth achieved during this transit. The resulting images (of industrial textures, security devices, and ephemeral objects) are not for simple viewing, but are conceptual meditations on tension, embodying the essential search for clarity and identity within the demanding architecture of contrast that defined my experience abroad.
