A space to conserve
by Kam Chan
Empty but full.
Failure to capture.
A space to remember and forget.
Entering a camera obscura can be daunting. You have to wait in a dark space for your eyes to adjust to the limited light before images of the external world project themselves around you. Having experience of depression and panic disorder, this darkness represents these fears but they can offer a place of solace and reflection. Mental illness can be an opportunity to see and be in your surroundings; that the everyday matters.
