Sasha’s glassine packets surprise me. They are a combination of handmade care and photographic structure. The construction of these small parcels allow me to experience building blocks of a photograph. Bold geometric shapes pierce through the translucent envelopes. Once opened, details of architecture, light formations and slices of street scenes emerge. I love how these gems live two lives, concealed and revealed. They are small enough to fit in your pocket but hold a large significance.
