A darkroom mistake gave rise to an unexpected image. While removing the film, I skipped a crucial step and unintentionally damaged it. The loss of the sprocket holes disrupted the chemical process, leaving parts of the image undeveloped.
From this accident emerged a delicate balance between abstraction and representation, where the error becomes part of the composition. The result is a poetic and almost magical image, shaped by chance and transformation.
