10 Houses
Throughout history, many artists have been recording events and current events through small domestic objects and spaces. I am interested in the ways in which we can form an 'authentic' or meaningful connection to a place without actually having physically been there.
In an era of rapid urbanization, these ten houses stand as silent witnesses to the architectural evolution of their respective cities. Each structure, captured in its current state of decay and abandonment, tells a story of changing neighborhoods, shifting demographics, and the relentless march of progress.

"These houses are not merely abandoned structures; they are repositories of memory, each crack and weathered surface bearing witness to the lives once lived within their walls."

Through this series, we observe the universal patterns of urban transformation—how economic forces, political changes, and social movements leave their mark on the built environment. These ten houses, scattered across different continents and cultures, share a common fate: they have become monuments to impermanence.
