Quiet Archive

There are silences that outlive memory. “Quiet Archive” is a collection of human and emotional remnants — doll-like figures locked in boxes, walled in their own time, cracked, fragmented, and silent. They do not scream, they do not beg. They stay. They endure. They remain quiet. Each image in this series is an archive of silences — not documenting events, but buried states of being: shame, loneliness, loss, inherited trauma, surrender. And yet also: resilience, clarity, and defiance. These figures are not broken — they are simply too lucid to pretend they are whole. They appear porcelain, but they breathe. They seem mechanical, but they are human. They stare or close their eyes — not out of sleep, but because they’ve seen too much. “Quiet Archive” is about what was never spoken. What happened behind closed doors. What was done to bodies that were treated as objects — but never became one.
