This series follows a single body folding, curling and opening across a sequence of black and white and warm toned frames, echoing the physical logic of before birth: knees drawn to the chest, spine curved inward, hands cupped near the face like something not yet ready to be seen. Shot across three different film cameras and film stocks, the work moves between cool and warm light, sharp shadow and soft grain, each shift in material changing how the body reads.
