Description

Near Realities presents close-range photographs of dendritic agates. The images resemble landscapes or spatial formations without stabilising as representations.

What emerges is a perceptual condition shaped by layering, rupture, and relational complexity, in which vision assembles fragments into provisional worlds.

Printed on opaque paper, the works resist the logic of transparency or access. The reality they propose is neither symbolic nor illustrative, but near: formed through the tension between what is seen and what remains withdrawn.
