Distorted portraits, preserved in glass and time
A cabinet conceals and reveals. A private space of fragments, artefacts, and emotion.
In this series, faces are photographed through glass jars and panels that distort, blur, and reshape their features. The resulting images recall Renaissance portraiture, yet they resist clarity or categorisation. Each face appears suspended, not a likeness, but a relic of feeling, transformed by surface and light.
Drawing on the language of preservation and display, the work invites us to linger with these portraits as if they were specimens: intimate, altered, and untouchable. Some appear serene, others grotesque, as if the soul itself has shifted. This is not a record of identity, but a collection of impressions. A cabinet of faces remembered, refracted, and quietly unmoored from time.
