This portrait captures a moment of complete ease—an animal at rest, alert but unguarded. Soft light traces the contours of fur and form, while shadow deepens the sense of calm and enclosure. The gaze is steady, almost knowing, suggesting trust earned through time. More than a pet portrait, the photograph reflects on comfort, safety, and the quiet authority of being fully present.
Each photo transfer begins as an original photograph. Through a slow, tactile transfer process, the image is lifted from its original surface and re-embedded onto paper, allowing imperfections, texture, and erosion to become part of the final work.
No two transfers are ever the same. Variations in pressure, timing, and surface interaction create subtle shifts in areas of softness, loss, or distortion that speak to memory, migration, and the fragility of what we try to hold onto.
This is a one-of-one piece. Once completed, it cannot be replicated.

Created slowly, intentionally, and without automation. This work honors process as much as outcome.
