The In-Between

Examining how prolonged hospitalization reshapes memory, perception, and embodied experience. Grounded in personal history, the work explores the temporal conditions of “during,” “in-between,” and “after” that emerge through extended clinical confinement, where recovery resists linear progression and time becomes suspended. Medical spaces do not remain contained; they persist, infiltrating everyday life. 

Through photography, the series investigates how repeated exposure to surgical environments reconfigures domestic space and familiar objects. Tools such as scissors or pliers are no longer neutral but re-coded through somatic memory as surgical instruments. The boundaries between clinical and domestic collapse, revealing how trauma reorganizes perception. The use of mordançage mirrors this instability, as images dissolve, fragment, and reform. Trauma is positioned not as a singular event but as a continuous condition, reactivated through encounters with objects and space. Perception becomes a site where memory is continually re-experienced and renegotiated. Exploring ALL forms of photography and combining 18th century photographic techniques with digital.
