Void Fraction is a documentary photography and visual research project that investigates the architecture of silence — places where history materializes through absence. The term, borrowed from physics, defines the proportion of emptiness within a system, yet here it becomes both method and metaphor: a way of thinking about the image as a space suspended between what remains and what has already been lost.

The series emerged from an initial gesture in Chernobyl — its symbolic point of irradiation — and expanded toward other territories marked by ruin and memory: the urban scars of World War II, decommissioned industrial structures in South America, and landscapes that preserve silence as a form of testimony. Through each displacement, the project seeks to understand how emptiness manifests physically, and how it reverberates as language.

This personal project approaches the image not as a record, but as an archaeological fragment — a residue of the real that insists on persisting. In this sense, it operates on the border between art and research, exploring the relationship between document, fiction, and the notion of truth within the age of synthetic imagery.

By revisiting spaces where time seems suspended, the work questions the status of evidence and the role of contemporary vision in the overlapping of memory and simulation. The void ceases to be pure absence and becomes critical matter — an expanded field of aesthetic, political, and historical inquiry.
