Presenting Uadi at the Vintage Photo Festival in Bydgoszcz. Uadi [وادي] is an Arabic term used to refer to a seasonal river that remains dry for extended periods of time, a landscape shaped by traces left by water, and its idiosyncratic absence. For this series I collected water samples every 7 days, and used them to erase the cyanotypes that I had done on the glass plates. Each week, the prints disappeared in contact with the water, letting a new 'image' begin.

With a focus on the repetition and disappearance of the process, the Uadi series is conceived to be immediately erased: a performance that restarts with the photograph.
