IKI (Echo of Breath) is a meditation on impermanence. Dance, which exists only in the instant, is revealed here not as a completed gesture but as a trace, an echo that lingers beyond the body.

The figure fragments, dissolves, becomes shadow and veil. In this disappearance, absence turns into presence.

Rather than describing, Echo of Breath evokes: the invisible energy of movement, a writing inscribed in space. Photography does not freeze reality but lets it flow, preserving what cannot be possessed — the resonance of a breath fading into silence.
