The Spaces Between Them is a limited-edition photograph printed on museum-quality archival paper using long-lasting archival inks. Built from dozens of images layered meticulously and then flattened into a single composition, this piece cannot be recreated—it exists as a one-of-a-kind artefact. After finalisation, the digital layering process was deliberately destroyed, sealing the work in its final form forever.

In this work, deep crimsons merge with smoky purples. The image captures the pulse of urban life, where countless moments overlap and dissolve. Amid the blur, a pair of figures stands still at the center, quietly anchoring the scene in contrast to the surrounding chaos.

Part of the Digital Waste: The Sweet Smell of Burning series, this photograph reflects on the saturation of digital imagery and the emotional noise it creates. Madhvee transforms discarded and overlooked photographs into dense, layered works that mimic the speed and disconnection of modern life. This piece acts as both a meditation and a subtle reminder—to slow down, stay grounded, and reconnect with one another in a world overflowing with distraction.
