1 / WHEN SILENCE GROWS, MOVING IMAGE
An object once designed to connect people now stands silent.
Nature does what time always does — it takes over.
2 / CONCEPT
This project reflects on disappearing forms of communication and cultural memory. The telephone, once a symbol of presence, urgency and voice, becomes obsolete, still, forgotten. By covering it with Portuguese azulejo patterns, the object carries a second layer of history: a visual language deeply tied to place, craft and permanence.
As moss, plants and organic growth slowly envelop the phone, the work becomes a meditation on time. What was once central fades quietly, not through destruction, but through neglect. Nature does not erase the object, it absorbs it.
The piece can be read as an ode to what is slowly disappearing: not only objects, but ways of being, speaking and remembering. Progress moves forward; memory remains — often unattended.
3 / PROCESS
The project was developed as a series of short moving images rather than static compositions. I began by reinterpreting a vintage telephone as a cultural artifact, redesigning its surface with azulejo-inspired patterns to anchor it within a specific visual heritage.
Using AI-assisted image and video workflows, I introduced organic elements gradually — moss, vegetation, soft growth — allowing time to become the main narrative force. Each sequence unfolds slowly, prioritizing accumulation over action.
Motion was kept subtle and continuous, reinforcing the idea that disappearance is not abrupt. It happens quietly, layer by layer, while no one is watching.
