Living Archive as Interface

A portfolio is usually optimized for recent work and quick judgment. A living archive has a different responsibility: it must hold finished work, fragments, long-term questions, process traces, and records that have not yet become a polished case study.

This website is designed around that second model. Photography series, moving-image projects, business experiments, research notes, and CV entries share one navigable archive. The structure should make future expansion cheap: add a content entry, place the media in public/media, rebuild static files, and deploy.

Principles

• Images lead the reading experience.
• Video is represented by posters, embeds, and explicit playback, not automatic heavy loading.
• Research can grow into longer MDX essays without adding a CMS.
• The VPS serves files; Cloudflare can cache them aggressively.

The result is not a frozen portfolio. It is a durable interface for accumulating work over years.
