Memento Mori

In her essay “Plato’s Cave,” Susan Sontag writes, “All photographs are memento mori.” And so they are. To each moment, there’s a beginning and an end. The photographic frame is emblematic of the boundaries we face in time, space and memory. Yet here in a range of spontaneous expressions made with swipes of the camera and long exposures—intentional camera movement—light flows and the world is repainted in permanent ways. A sketch refolded behind us.
