A parent and a child, and the line between their faces where time folds. Not a before and after. A simultaneous — the wrinkle and the smooth skin that will become it, the smile already inherited before it was learned.
I started this project from a personal place: fifteen years of silence with my father, and the slow work of breaking it. That reconciliation forced me to look at something I had long avoided — the question of what we pass on, and what we refuse to, and whether the two are ever really different.
Chronogenics brings together parents and their children in a triptych structure: two separate portraits, and between them a digital fusion — a third face that belongs to neither and to both. It is not manipulation. It is a question made visible. Where does one person end and another begin? What do we inherit that has no name?
The project is ongoing. The prints are produced in limited editions of three on Hahnemühle Bamboo fine art paper, 50×70 cm. Each work carries its own story — the relationship behind the faces, the distance or closeness, the things said and unsaid.
Chronogenics is a long-term project on genetic memory, identity, and what we carry without knowing it.
