Waters Memory 

Water’s Memory examines the reflective and refractive properties of water as a way to question photography’s claim to documentary truth. A reflection in water appears to capture reality, yet it is never an objective record—it is altered by movement, depth, and changing states.

Similarly, photography is often perceived as a means of preserving truth, but like water, it shapes, filters, and transforms what it captures.

As water shifts between liquid, ice, and vapor, it retains and releases reflections in different ways—holding an image momentarily, freezing it in crystalline form, or dissolving it into nothing. This parallels how a photograph does not preserve reality itself, but rather a version of it, mediated through lenses, sensors, and interpretation. Water’s Memory challenges the assumption that images provide truth, instead revealing them as fleeting impressions, shaped by their medium rather than an absolute reflection of the world....
