Looking at a collection of work one at a time forces a different kind of attention than taking in a whole gallery wall. In an exhibition grid, our eyes jump to high contrast and saturated color, searching for a favorite before we have even understood the assignment.

When we turn the page one frame at a time, each photograph gets its own silence. The relationship between consecutive views becomes a rhythm of choices: how the light shifted across forty minutes, or how two students approached the same corner of the room.
