Soft Armor is a sculptural photograph existing in a liminal space between preservation and decay.  Made through a process that layers ink with resin on paper, the photograph undergoes crystallization in a mineral bath in order to reveal itself in-between salt like crystals and resin. While traditional still life imagery often fixates on subjects at their peak, Zaman redirects the lens towards moments of transition, growth, and the rejection of social norms, revealing a poignant beauty in the oft-neglected moments of existence.
