While the images allow increasing passages of time between events and the photographs that reflect on them – “made moments after the events they depict, then those made days after, then months, years and so on” – there settles in the pit of the stomach some unremitting melancholy, some unholy dread as to the brutal facticity and inhumanness of war. The work which “pictures” the memory of the events that took place, like a visual ode of remembrance, are made all the more powerful for their transcendence – of time, of death and the immediate detritus of war.

The best way to demonstrate this is to start feeling your way through your own projects. Once you prove to yourself that you know at least 60% what you’re doing, you can 60% convince someone else you know, and they’ll know about 25% of what’s involved, so to them you’ll seem overqualified, and meanwhile you can figure out the remaining 40% as you go, when it’s too late for them to stop you.

Melted was born in 2017. I was facing some hard time regarding my profession, but I wanted to push forward and inspire others to do the same. So I put my fears aside, and several huge cups of coffee later, this project was born. It moved exclusively to Medium in 2021.

I recommend taking a look at my dailies and personal projects page, which will give you a good starting point for coming up with your own projects (as well as frank insight into my own early design work, which I have had described as “bold” and “not quite Air Bud 6 material, I’m afraid”).
