Mass and Speed is a four-part series of altered photographic works exploring how the first part of the 21st century is being shaped by mass proliferation and acceleration — “Массовость и скорость.” Each image is hand-marked with crayon and marker, deliberate interventions that disrupt the original meaning and foreground the instability of context in an era defined by rapid distribution and reinterpretation.

These analog gestures reflect on the overwhelming velocity of visual culture and its simultaneous power to democratize and distort. As information now travels at the speed of light, its impact becomes increasingly difficult to parse. The series poses a question: Could this unrelenting pace lead us toward consequences as complex and shadowed as those that defined the first half of the 20th century?
