"Beyond"

In philosophy, temporality is used to refer to the linear progression of past, present, and future. In a sense, we are always aware of time, particularly the history and context of things. “Beyond” is a portrait series that encourages the viewer to approach the sitter released from temporality. Beyond context, beyond memory, beyond recognition, can one see hope, sadness, triumph and exhaustion? The trajectory of the past, present, and future? Can one discern another’s essence by simply gazing at them?
