Common Impermanence* is a self-portrait photography series that explores the shifting nature of selfhood through a diaristic lens. Shot in black and white, the images investigate presence, memory, and emotional distance, using subtle gestures, natural light, and quiet framing to evoke states of in-betweenness. While each image is presented as a standalone moment, the work functions as a cohesive sequence, unfolding like pages from a visual journal. The series takes an autobiographical approach without relying on traditional storytelling or overt narrative. Instead, it embraces ambiguity and fragmentation, inviting viewers to reflect on their own emotional landscapes. Techniques such as intentional blur, soft focus, and careful use of negative space emphasize a sense of observation over performance. Influenced by artists like Francesca Woodman and Uta Barth, Common Impermanence* considers the act of self-portraiture not as a statement, but as a quiet gesture, a meditation on what it means to see, feel, and change over time. The project is both visual and linguistic in nature, with short, impressionistic text fragments occasionally supporting the images. These texts are not explanatory, but serve to echo the emotional tone of the work. Overall, Common Impermanence* offers a reflective experience, grounded in personal practice, but open to broader interpretation around impermanence, introspection, and the quiet weight of being.
