The work "Walking" is part of a series of works and the video piece "Night Wanderings".
It is based on photographs taken during walks in the desert, converted to black-and-white, and assembled into triptychs, creating a visual storyboard.
The piece employs a “peeled photograph” technique: the prints are developed on photographic paper using the Lambda process, after which the emulsion is carefully peeled away. This reveals the white of the paper, generating new images while partially erasing others.
The act of peeling becomes a form of contemplation — an attempt to reveal the layers of memory and the “ghosts” embedded within the photographic image.
