In Unwrapped, I examine the quiet presence of a single, freshly laundered shirt—its creases, folds, and translucence speaking to touch, time, and domestic ritual. Removed from its functional role and isolated from context, the shirt becomes a vessel of memory and care. Through repetition and framing, I approach this object not as a garment, but as a form —a record of intimacy and labor made visible. This act of close observation transforms the ordinary into something contemplative, elevating what’s often overlooked in our daily lives

Rendered in a minimalist, abstract style, the images draw attention to surface, line, and light. The shirt’s shape dissolves at times into negative space or tonal gradients, allowing the photograph to function as both documentation and abstraction. In this ambiguity, Unwrapped resists narrative closure. It invites the viewer to look longer, to navigate the tension between presence and absence, representation and perception. The abstraction is not a distancing device—it is a means of intimacy, one that asks us to slow down and recognize the poetic potential of the familiar.
