The project explores the transformation of the photographic image and the fragility of memory as phenomena that exist beyond complete control. It is based on family archive photographs combined with microscopic images of biological and chemical processes. Using multiple exposure on 35mm film, I layer printed archival photographs with digital microscopic imagery, bringing them together within a single analog frame. The physical manipulation of photographic materials, together with the use of expired film, amplifies the role of chance, making the final outcome impossible to fully control.

Just as human intervention transforms the natural environment, I intervene in the environment of photography. Archival photographs become a space for new layers and reactions, yet their evolution cannot be entirely predicted. The material begins to behave independently, forming its own relationships between different layers of the image.

An important element of the series is the use of adhesive tape with handwritten notes. At first, I used the tape simply to hold together fragile photographs that had begun to fall apart with age. Later, when I had no paper at hand, I started writing directly on the tape to record which microscopic element had been layered onto each photograph. Eventually, I decided to leave these notes in the finished works rather than remove them. They preserve the authenticity of the process, resemble laboratory annotations, and reinforce the scientific character of the series. Over time, the tape and its inscriptions became an inseparable part of every photograph.

By bringing together family archives, scientific visualization, and analog photographic practices, the project approaches memory not as something fixed, but as a living matter that continues to interact, decay, and transform.
