Domestic Dust Cabinet

Every home holds its own unique and intimate collection of dust—a self-made collection of hair, skin cells, fibers, and grains of sand from outside, gathered from the places you’ve been or the food you’ve eaten. This series presents a microscopic close-up of selected dust from my own life. The images are created using Cyanotype, a 19th-century photographic printing process that results in deep cyan-blue prints. Invented by English scientist John Herschel in 1842 Through these prints, I invite the viewer to reconsider the overlooked and the mundane—to find poetry in what is usually discarded or ignored. The dust becomes both subject and medium, drawing attention to the physical traces that accumulate quietly in the background of our lives.
