“Becoming Still” is less a series of photographs than a visual journal — a tentative reflection through images. The work does not follow a linear narrative but traces a path that unfolds between fragments. It opens in-between spaces where perception is not immediately translated into concepts. This openness resists the everyday flood of images that carry clear messages and thus reduce the world to function and purpose.
In this refusal of clarity lies a kinship with a thought of the early Ludwig Wittgenstein, who wrote that one must “remain silent about what cannot be spoken.” This silence does not mean muteness, but the recognition of a boundary where language no longer reaches. Becoming Still takes up this attitude in its visual language: it seeks to make visible what eludes the sayable — not through explanation, but through an open, contemplative gaze.
What emerges is an aesthetic form of silence that does not signify emptiness but becomes a space of resonance. The images slow perception and invite the viewer to let go of familiar categories. At the same time, a mystical undercurrent resounds — the intuition that what is essential is not found in the concept, but experienced in the unspeakable. Becoming Still thus understands itself as a counterpractice to the visual excess of the present — an attempt to make stillness perceptible as a place of reorientation, as an invitation to encounter the world, the other, and oneself.
