Every Trace Was Once a Gesture is an artist book on how time leaves quiet marks on the world, in surfaces, structures, and places we often overlook. Composed of photographs, scans, and layered compositions gathered over several years, the book examines memory, erosion, and the slow act of observing change. Each spread carries its own rhythm, shaped by both accident and intent. This project is not only about places but about learning to see: slowly, attentively, without rushing toward clarity. Small shifts are enough. Quiet marks begin to speak. Follow what fades, what shifts, and what quietly stays. Each time I return, I find another trace. Self-initiated project.
