Anonymous scapes

My journey in search of home goes on.
I turn my gaze to the remnants of past prosperity, to roadside scenes that echo in quiet memory. Along the way, I search for silence—most deeply in winter, when stillness reigns,and birds and trees endure the cold, waiting for spring’s return.

Then came 2019, with its first murmurs of retreat. Daily life withdrew indoors, and soon a state of emergency reshaped our every rhythm.
Some things bent under the weight of change, while others stood untouched—silent witnesses to a world in transformation.

Together, these anonymous scapes speak of memory and the present, of absence and endurance, like fleeting dreams suspended in time.
