Photography has always carried traces of memory, of place, of presence. In a world shaped by displacement, conflict, and environmental unease, these traces no longer stay still. They shift, overlap, blur. Borders soften, memories falter or reform, and what feels fragile often becomes what endures.

This exhibition brings together works that lean into that instability. It features images that explore memory in flux, the porous boundaries between identities and geographies, and the quiet strength found in moments of vulnerability. Here, light is more than illumination; it holds weight. Fragility is more than weakness; it carries defiance. The subtle becomes a form of resistance and the in-between becomes a space of meaning.

Together, these photographs suggest that what lingers is not always loud or monumental, but what slips, drifts, and resists being pinned down. In their softness, they hold us.
