Scar of Rust captures a fragment from the hull of an old boat: corroded stains, peeling paint, and cracks etched by time. Under the lens of photography, these surfaces are detached from their original function and recontextualized as an autonomous symbol. No longer a mere part of industrial remains, they emerge as sculptures of time itself. Placed within the framework of still life, the rust and abrasion transform into poetic metaphors, reminding us that every object, through the passage of time, can become a relic that silently witnesses memory and disappearance.
