art - Way of St james
When I enter these ancient chapels, these forgotten churches along the Way of St. James, the outside world disappears.
All that remains is silence, stone, and the soft light moving across damaged surfaces — cracked walls, peeling plaster, pigments worn by time.
These places have carried thousands of presences, prayers, and gestures, now invisible. And yet, their imprint remains. I do not photograph the building — I photograph what it leaves behind.
Each image is a reinterpretation. What I see, I transform. I isolate, enlarge, shift the scale to reveal a new space — somewhere between abstraction and memory.
A memory held in matter. A charged absence. A fragile form of eternity.
By isolating a faded fresco, amplifying a texture, or tracing light across stone, I seek what cannot be seen — only felt.
Way of St. James is not a documentary pilgrimage — it is an intimate dialogue with what lingers in silence, in light, and in trace.
These places are slowly collapsing, and what takes place within them — secret, sacred, fragile — will soon disappear. Photography becomes their final witness.Very limited edition of 3 — or unique edition (1/1)
