About Ribbon and Shutter

A Daily Ritual of Light and Language

Ribbon and Shutter is a year-long daily ritual—one photograph, one piece of writing, side by side. Each pairing is created slowly: an image captured with care, and a poem or short story typed on a 100-year-old typewriter whose keys clack and chatter like memory itself.

This project is a quiet attempt to hold onto fleeting moments. To let light and words meet on the page. To make something honest, imperfect, and real—every single day, for a year.

Each photograph is made using a vintage Polaroid SX-70 camera—immediate, analog, and unretouched. Each piece of writing is typed by hand, with no backspace, no delete, only intention. Together, they form a living archive of presence, vulnerability, and time—made entirely by one artist's hands, one day at a time.

Ribbon and Shutter is not just about making art—it's about making time.
