Missing Image

When a large-format camera is taken apart into bare wooden frames, they stand like broken dock posts in waves made from blue bedsheets. These frames can no longer take photos—instead, they become part of the scene. A camera is meant to capture the world, but the 3D-scanned version reveals the emptiness of recording: when reality shifts like waves, memories fade into digital fragments. Thoughts：Last week, my grandfather passed away. Looking at his portrait, I felt a deep emptiness. I used to think taking a photo meant holding onto something forever, but now I see that photos don’t truly connect to what they capture. Cameras and pictures promise a way to own memories of a place, but it’s an illusion. Tech issue:I had trouble uploading MP3 audio files to STYLY—it wouldn’t recognize my files.
