Watching Over Quito

$125.00

Photographed in Quito, this image looks out from the heights of Basilica del Voto Nacional, where twin towers rise above the dense city below. Under a heavy sky, clocks mark time while streets continue their quiet, relentless movement. The photograph holds tension between elevation and reality—between faith, endurance, and the lives unfolding beneath stone and shadow. It is a portrait of vigilance, where history observes the present without interruption.

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.

  • Size: 8×10 inches

  • Medium: Photo transfer using archival materials

  • Signed on the back

  • Unframed

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