Third Effect: The Third Image

This series of nearly abstract black-and-white photographs emerged from an exercise in observation and editing carried out over three days in Santorini. The images do not seek to document the island, but rather to find relationships among its forms, textures, and landscapes that can give rise to new interpretations.

When paired together, a third effect emerges: a meaning that belongs not to either photograph on its own, but to the dialogue between the two. The project draws on a tradition that ranges from Alfred Stieglitz’s *Equivalents* to the diptychs of Ralph Gibson and John Baldessari, and explores how juxtaposition can transform independent images into a new idea.
