The project is my investigation into the absence of light and colour. The process that occurs when our vision adapts to the darkness was interesting for me when I was a child, especially when falling asleep, and it still makes me curious every time I work in the darkroom.
The interaction between my works and the viewer – who is trying to decode the meaning of the pictures- fascinates me when one needs time to see. When the eyes adapt to the blackness, you start seeing more and more of the shapes in the photograph. When exhibiting the project in Grace and Clark Fyfe Gallery in Glasgow, visitors who entered a bright white cube could only see black rectangles. Still, when they came closer to spend time looking, they could see and experience the familiar feeling of lying in bed at night and looking around.

“The Case of the Colour-blind Painter” by Oliver Sacks greatly influenced my approach to the concept of darkness, colour and the vision. (2016)
