“130120221929.2022” extends the thematic concerns of Immortal, probing photography’s relationship to mortality, memory, and the passage of time. The image balances between narrative suggestion and formal minimalism; its staged yet elusive quality hints at psychological depth, evoking the tension between presence and absence.
The distinctive frame, again handmade and marked with gestural traces, underscores Mena’s insistence on photography as a three-dimensional, embodied practice. Here, the frame is not a mere boundary but a conceptual extension of the image itself—a reminder of the human hand that seeks to preserve what will inevitably slip away. Together, image and frame form a contemplative object that invites viewers to consider photography not simply as documentation but as an artifact of longing, a material memory suspended in space.
