Gone & Leaving, 2023
Handmade Accordion Photo Art Book
1125cm x 32cm
Gone & Leaving is a double-sided accordion photobook born from a chaotic yet necessary restart during a period of emotional upheaval and transition. It began as a visual diary documenting fleeting moments, relationships, and inner shifts—not just a record of place, but a reflection of becoming someone new.
The work captures quiet intimacy and disconnection through portraits of friends and lovers—often showing incomplete fragments of bodies, shadows, and reflections — revealing how people, places, and memories blur when we are both holding on and letting go. Through photography paired with handwritten notes, private journal fragments, collage, and found materials, the book layers texture, memory, and emotion to preserve what’s already slipping away, fully aware that nothing can truly be held in place.
Its physical form mirrors its themes: the accordion fold invites nonlinear navigation, moving forward on one side and backward on the other, reflecting how memory folds in on itself and how identity shifts in transit. Printing imperfections and tactile textures emphasize the raw, unsettled emotional state from which the work emerged, turning each copy into a fragile, shifting archive of transformation.
Gone & Leaving is a tender exploration of presence and absence, loss and belonging, and the delicate act of carrying what’s gone even as we keep leaving — where endings can look like beginnings, and leaving can feel like returning.

This initial version of the project has evolved through editing and redesign, and I’m now excited to be self-publishing Gone & Leaving for the first time.
