🥤 Raw Summer 2017: “Blurred Bite”
He sits alone, cap low, shirt loud, hand raised to his mouth. The moment is mid-action — a sip, a bite, a pause. But the blur steals precision, and gives us something else: a feeling, not a fact.
The foliage behind him melts into grain, the bench becomes a stage, and the photo — no longer a document, but a memory trying to form.
This is what happens when the emulsion misbehaves, when the fixer forgets its job, when the shutter catches not the face, but the mood.

🌸 Raw Summer 2017: “Soft Focus, Sharp Presence”
She sits still, but the image trembles. A flower in her hair, a sleeveless shirt buttoned to the collar — details that feel chosen, deliberate, almost ceremonial.
The blur isn’t a mistake. It’s a veil, a soft refusal to be fully seen. She’s there, but not entirely. Like someone who knows the camera is watching, but chooses to remain a little out of reach.
The trees behind her dissolve, the edges melt, and all that remains is presence — quiet, composed, and slightly untouchable.

🌘 Raw Summer 2017: “Wall Rituals, I”
The light is fading, the ISO is low, and the shutter stays open just long enough to let the mystery in.
They gather near the tiled wall, bodies half-still, half-blurred, caught in a gesture that resists explanation.
Is it a game? A performance? A moment of shared madness?
The grass beneath them is real, the wall behind them is cold, but everything in between — hands, limbs, expressions — is slipping into something else.
This is not a photo. It’s a trace. A record of something that almost happened.

🌘 Raw Summer 2017: “Wall Rituals, II”
She leans in, the other stays seated — a gesture between command and care. Around them: bags, bottles, wrappers, the debris of a long day, or the tools of something stranger.
The tiled wall watches silently, the grass holds their weight, and the camera, slow to blink, lets the moment stretch and smear.
This is not a scene for explanation. It’s a fragment of something lived, something half-private, half-public, a ritual that only they understand.
The blur doesn’t hide the truth — it reveals how unstable it is.
