the end series

The End is a continuing collection of cyanotypes begun at the end of 2025, influenced by the final moments of films. Each image lingers on the emotional residue left after the narrative resolves—when meaning collapses into silence, darkness, or blue.

Film endings can be happy, sad, hopeful, or devastating, often holding several emotions at once. This series aims to evoke that same mixture in the viewer. The text “the end” is often cropped and fragmented within the images, turning the ending into a suggestion rather than a conclusion, and leaving space for memory, loss, and projection to remain unsettled.
