THE FAN

THE FAN


A study of light, shadow and form.

The fan is not merely a prop - it becomes a line that guides the eye. It reveals and conceals, introducing rhythm and a quiet tension between what is visible and what remains beyond the frame.

Subtle references to Japanese aesthetics appear in gesture and restraint, not in literalness.

This is a story that does not resolve into a single interpretation.
