She Disappeared into Complete Silence (2014-2019) was photographed at a golden modernist structure in the Californian desert – the desert functioning as a liminal space long associated with wandering and soul-searching, where one always stands naked and exposed. The series revolves around a single female figure, at times placed inside the building, at others outside. The structure’s façade of glass and mirrors dissolves this separation optically, splitting light, mirroring the desert, and obscuring the figure. Often, it is only a reflection or a shadow that the viewer glimpses, or the figure is inversed through the process of solarization and turned into a mere imprint of herself – a memory etched in light. She too becomes a reflective surface, onto which the viewer projects their own self, while she quietly disappears.
