Cyanotype, or 'sun printing’, is a photographic technique directly harnessing natural light, inspired by the idea of 'drawing with light' from Man Ray's camera-less experiments.

The project seeks a dialogue between nature's timeless essence and the evolving course of history. Rocks, leaves, and branches blend with discovered plastic items, complemented by classic camera-captured photographs for added abstraction.

The project visually unfolds from plastic bags to rocks, sparking discourse between the enduring (nature) and the mutable (plastic items). Nature, a historical constant despite changes, symbolises constancy amid evolving flora.

This narrative extends to plastic items as totems of our era. The ubiquitous plastic bag becomes a potent symbol, representing the rapid pace of consumerism and our culture's immediacy—an artifact destined to await discovery by future archaeologists.

The camera-less photography process is a contemplative journey. The sun's movement during exposure, especially with three-dimensional objects, creates detailed imprints. Shadows and image accuracy reflect this contemplative process, contrasting with the rapidity of traditional photography. Prolonged exposure encourages deeper contemplation.

In our fast-paced culture, the project urges a pause to appreciate nature's intricacies. It highlights the fundamental role of light, primarily from the sun, in enabling sight—the lens through which we perceive the world. Amid the rush, it becomes a metaphorical lens, urging us to slow down and acknowledge the timeless dance between light, nature, and history.
