Early study

Bazaar

Cunda Island's historic market, taken apart and reassembled. The same figure appears again and again across the frame, reaching, sorting, caught mid-motion, as if one gesture repeated enough times can hold an entire day of trade.

Around it, fishing nets become pure line, tools are reduced to wire and scribble, objects hang mid-air as if lifted out of time. The original footage stays, hands, crates, the produce itself, but it sits inside a world that has turned diagrammatic, reduced to gesture and outline.

Farmers, traders, children moving through the crowd, all caught less as individuals and more as recurring motion, the kind that repeats every morning whether anyone is watching or not.

The piece was built by hand, on location. Footage, texture, and objects were collaged together in analog, without digital layering, until the market's repetition became the image itself.
