The Journey Begins<\/h3>\n

It started with a 1942 photograph of Mikhail Pavolotsky. That past moment reshaped my present. In sharing it, I invite you to consider\u2014how do places or encounters echo beyond time?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]\t

Time in Layers<\/h3>\n

Past, Present, Future<\/em> draws from 600 photographs. As you move among them, might the present reframe your past or shift future possibilities?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]\t

Exploring Connections<\/h3>\n

We walk through histories of identity and uprising. My story is a layer, but yours emerges too. How might these experiences bend time for you?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]\t

Ongoing Inquiry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This project evolves with each participant. As you engage\u2014whether I\u2019m here or not\u2014new stories unfold. Time is not fixed\u2014how will it speak to you?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text css=””]\n

A Glimpse Into Time<\/h3>\n

On our companion site, you\u2019ll find a grid of photographs\u2014each a doorway to a deeper story. Clicking a photo lets you step into its narrative, offering a taste of the project\u2019s layered connections\u2014even from afar.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column fixed=”thb-fixed” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1490811936918{padding-left: 30px !important;}”]\t\t\t
