In my cyanotype series Marginal Landscapes, I explore the ephemeral marginalia left by anonymous readers on the printed page. These delicate contact prints—made by placing books and negatives directly onto light-sensitive paper and exposing them to sunlight—echo the fragility of the printed book itself in our digital age.

The prints derive their power from the interplay of thoughtful commentary, underlined passages, dots, and stars as they engage with literature's canonical texts. Many pages have been written on repeatedly, transforming them into palimpsests where multiple readers leave traces, creating new meanings through accumulated dialogue.

Through deliberate page selection and juxtaposition, I construct unexpected relationships from disparate texts in each photographic cluster. Drawing from an archive of hundreds of annotated volumes collected since 2008, the series transforms readers' intimate traces into impressions that reveal both the fragility and enduring power of human engagement with the written word.
