Photography is readable by its viewer through symbols and icons, relying on the varying interpretations to be reassembled as meaning. The act of photographing, in the vernacular sense, is often rooted in the ambition of living forever by preserving memory and constructing legacy. The 35mm slide is a symbol of this longing for immortality. The series of works titled Holder is an attempt to re-present the slide holder as an object speaking about how photography alters experiences lived and performed. The holder prevents the viewer from seeing the entire background photograph while creating a grid of frames that prompts the desire to consume the whole picture.
