In photography, the image becomes a graphic element, delimiting a space of inclusion and exclusion. The shadow, as a counterpoint to light, materializes this exile. I, as a subject, exist beyond the captured image, yet presence is inscribed in the photograph as both form and absence, tracing my silhouette as a graphic mark on the border between the visible and the invisible.

Thus, I transcend my visual representation; however, the captured image defines and limits me. Paradoxically, my presence manifests in the photograph as both form and absence, embedded in the very structure of the image. The body, as a graphic element, becomes the shadow, and the figurative image ceases to exist. Nevertheless, it still belongs to and impregnates the space as imagetic potential. The image as a final product will never repeat itself, yet as a graphic element, the body becomes multiple and continues to trace and imprint shadows in photography. The body is a matrix in space and, through light, records the repetition of movement on photographic paper. A kind of monotype. The body becomes illegible, but still exists.
