Liz Deschenes's *Shift/Rise #10* is a photographic work that engages with light, time, and surface as its primary subjects, reducing image-making to its most elemental processes. The piece reflects Deschenes's ongoing investigation into the materiality of photography itself, allowing atmospheric and environmental conditions to become active participants in the work's formation. The result is an object that hovers between abstraction and pure optical experience, inviting the viewer to consider perception and presence as much as representation.
