At very high degrees of enlargement, an image starts to lose its identity

I found the title in a manual for analog printing techniques and was intrigued on how an image could dissolve. The fall of 2023, I experienced several
losses in my mother’s family in Thailand. The reality changed and new questions about identity and heritage emerged. I worked on the technique of
enlarging the silver grains of the negative during development and copying to the point where the photograph began to dissolve.

The work was showed in a group exhibition in spring 2024.
