The work SuperNova takes its title from the cataclysmic explosion marking the death of a star, an event that momentarily produces an intensely bright celestial body before it gradually fades into obscurity over weeks or months.
The process of assisted reproduction can evoke a contrast similar to that of the supernova phenomenon—an initial spark of hope that shines brightly, only to gradually fade away when unsuccessful, leaving behind the fading traces of what once burned brightly, much like the explosive death of a star dissolving into the vastness of space.
The photo series is a visual diary that conveys the aftermath of multiple artificial fertilization treatments (IVF). It serves as a distilled reflection of the experience, capturing both the physical process and its psychological impact.
The images depict fragmented moments and objects in a non-linear sequence, where clusters of brighter visuals are followed by darker scenes. This interplay seeks to create a collection of observations in which time, death, defeat, grief, and hope intesect, exploring notions of becoming and belonging.
