The Nap

Statement:

Sometimes a person disappears in broad daylight not long enough for it to be called sleep, and not final enough to be called death.

A nap is a land of temporary absence, one we pass through every day without even noticing.

In this collection, the portraits seek to capture these small moments of absence:

people standing on the threshold between presence and disappearance.

Eyes half-open, bodies at rest, and time suspended.

Each image seems to bear witness to a fleeting moment when a person has stepped away from reality for a few seconds, remaining suspended somewhere unknown.

Perhaps a nap is death’s daily rehearsal.

Or perhaps death is nothing more than an endless nap.
