Photographed in Guatemala, this image captures a woman moving through the street with her goods balanced above her head—colorful textiles held steady through experience and strength. Her posture speaks to labor learned over time, while the surrounding street recedes into soft distraction. The photograph honors the quiet endurance of daily work, where beauty, tradition, and survival move together without announcement.
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.
