Co- gathers photographs from my personal archive as I stitch them into pairs, facing one another, with fragments from different times, people, and spaces meeting at the seam. They are not bound by chronology, but held together through resonance. Images appear in varying resolutions and proportions. Different parts of the same image are separated, enlarged, or reduced, allowing multiple scales of looking to coexist while sustaining a sense of continuity. Rather than attempting to document significant events, this book turns its attention to things whose existence often goes unnoticed, or is no longer desired to be noticed at all. I want to preserve the most ordinary moments, so they do not quietly disappear. Through the preservation of everyday fragments and marginal presences,
Co- resists the erasure of time, allowing images to remain not as records of the past, but as moments that speak in the present, right when they are perceived, looked at, and experienced.
