‘Spent’ Publication
This is a B5 photographic publication examines everyday objects at the threshold between usefulness and disposal, showing how time wears them down until they lose their function.
By documenting before and after states of familiar items the work highlights their differing lifespans while showing that all eventually reach the same endpoint once their purpose is lost.
Intended for those who use these objects daily but rarely pause to notice them, the publication focuses on items at the moment they become spent, encouraging reflection on temporality and how value is tied to function.
