Statement: Pour-over coffee served in a glass next by reading light. This photo is part of series that explore the perception of mundane events through the nuances of color in pour-over coffee created by the passage of light.
The series began as a means to find a way to communicate repeated acts of musing through repeated acts of drinking coffee at home. For this, I decided to map the boundaries of coffee color shades, observing from the rim of a glass to the edge of the liquid, illuminated by a ray of light. But I quickly discovered that these rim lines were not always fine; their boundaries sometimes expand wildly from one moment to the next, only to contract again. With each new perspective, some nuances and forms would vanish, while others emerged; some things blurred, while others sharpened. The more vantage points I stepped into, the more indefinite the entire picture became. The only thing that did not vary back and forth and wildly in between was the taste of the coffee.
