    This Series Forms A Language Of Absence To Explore The Essence Of Human Existence In Space And Time.

“Human Syntax” is a series of photographic works that meditate on the silent imprint of humanity in space and time. Rather than depicting the human figure directly, it reveals traces, residues, and symbolic presences as the signs of human presence. By creating a language of absence, it invites viewers to sense what lingers after life has passed through, transforming the everyday into a philosophical proposition of how human presence persists once the body is gone.
