May 2020 update: I have no idea why i left this entry word-free when it originally went up in December 2013. To be honest, I was going through quite a rough patch personally at the time that I made these, so i guess it was difficult for me to talk about. Let’s respect the Sandra of that time (may she rest in peace), and just for context I’ll include here the writeup I left on my cargocollective page alongside this series of work.
Photograms through negatives. This work is about absence, and how it stains the present. Silver gelatin prints. Hong Kong, Fall 2013

I just reread and bookmarked online references for the passage marked in the above prints. I was going to type earlier how experiencing their artistry was just as penetrating through and true that it could change my paradigm at the moment (well, it did succinctly, more so to emphasize streams of thought pervasive in the urban scene). These subjects of the divine is going to have a great impact as presaged by the play of lights that you’ve done in all its concoction. But I just thought to comment just because the seeming essence or ethos was significant in that aspect. Pithy!
Just curious…Did you like it or not? :-)
Sobrang deep di na masisid
Ibang iba ito from your past work. Iba ang dating ng black and white. I can appreciate the great skill and inspiration required to be able to juxtapose ordinary things and actually reveal the inherent beauty of each object against the backdrop of others. Relationships rule! Loved the light and shadow, the play of textures. Ganda:) What an eye you have, Sandra! Truly a gift from above.
Thanks Tita Henedine!! Glad you enjoyed the work!!! Always appreciate the time you take to look and leave me comments!
So beautiful, Sandra Dans! =) I am in awe!
Thanks Najeeee! Hearts!
They are so wonderful. I felt like words were springing out from your photos and I could immediately write another sets of poems from just staring at your works.
Thank you for sharing, Ma’am!
Thank you for your kind words, Lizzie!
THIS IS GORGEOUS
It’s just something about it that I can’t really explain; the way the light hits the objects and how you’ve captured everything makes me see colors in your work even though they’re black and white photos?! ITS REALLY WEIRD BUT THAT’S HOW IT IS! I also really like the careful placement of the flower matter to complement spaces relative to the physical objects you have in your compositions; this is coming from someone that knows nothing about photography and rarely comments on stuff alskjksdf
