The Nap

Sometimes a person disappears in broad daylight—not long enough for it to be called sleep, and not final enough to be called death.A nap is a land of temporary absence, one we pass through every day without even noticing. In this collection, the portraits seek to capture these small moments of absence: people standing on the threshold between presence and disappearance. Eyes half-open, bodies at rest, and time suspended.Each image seems to bear witness to a fleeting moment when a person has stepped away from reality for a few seconds, remaining suspended somewhere unknown.Perhaps a nap is death’s daily rehearsal. Or perhaps death is nothing more than an endless nap.
