Description

‘I Dream of a Timeless Utopia’ is project exploring a personal search for a world where time doesn’t exist
- a vision of utopia within a dystopia, where what the photographer longs for will always remain out of reach.

Through photography, handwritten fragments, and delicate details, the work reflects on the impossibility of
preserving a person, a moment, or a feeling, as time inevitably moves forward. This realisation causes the
narrative to unfold like a vivid dream - unruly, chaotic, and saturated with emotion and longing.

A subtle power dynamic emerges as the narrative shifts, between the photographer and time itself, as the
camera becomes a tool of loud resistance - an attempt to hold onto fleeting moments and people as they
slip away beyond control, ultimately, seeking solace in the act of preservation.
