Transparent (2026)

Transparent explores the fragile relationship between memory, photography, and family narratives.

Using childhood photographs, William Josephs Radford reconstructs the spaces left behind by an absent family member, drawing on fragments of memory, family stories, and photographs themselves.

Presented as lenticular prints, the images shift between presence and absence, reflecting the way memories are continually reconstructed rather than simply retrieved.

The work questions how much of a childhood is personally remembered, and how much is inherited through the stories we hear and the images we repeatedly see.
