Thermal imaging stills, pigment on aluminium 2025

images by Isabella Salas

By capturing only heat signatures—no faces, no features. It offers a way to witness life without intrusion.

Presence is recorded, not identity. All equal.

In a time of constant surveillance, these images refuse to expose. They reveal the quiet dignity of movement through the night, bodies as pulses of warmth, equal and unmarked.

More than documentation, this is metaphor: for visibility and erasure, for the ways some are seen, others overlooked, and some rendered suspect.

This collection makes room, for care, for questions, and for the right to simply exist discreetly.
