“Joy in Repetition” takes its inspiration from Gilles Deleuze’s exploration of difference and repetition, using photography to delve into the interplay between sameness and subtle change. At first glance, the images in the series depict recurring patterns and familiar cycles, evoking a sense of continuity. However, as Deleuze argues, repetition is never exact—each recurrence carries its own variations, transforming the familiar into something new. The series captures this dynamic through carefully layered visuals and recurring motifs, revealing how even in the repetition of forms and moments, there is always difference at play.
This body of work invites viewers to consider the nuances that emerge within repetition, asking them to reflect on how the familiar can be continuously transformed. By drawing attention to the slight shifts in texture, light, and form, “Joy in Repetition” challenges our perception of what seems static, encouraging a deeper engagement with the subtleties of change. Through these images, the series celebrates the beauty of cyclical patterns, not as fixed entities, but as evolving processes. It emphasizes that repetition is not about returning to the same place, but about moving through a constant state of becoming, where each iteration offers new possibilities and deeper layers of meaning.
