This work approaches the photographer as a collector — not of things themselves, but of their appearances. Here, photography functions less as a medium that fixes the world than one that renders it strange and makes tangible the instability of things and the limits of perception. Photography's failure to render things unequivocally opens a space in which they can be encountered anew.
