My work examines the relationship between human interaction, structures, and time. I explore how objects change when neglected—do they lose purpose or fade away? Initially, I photographed abandoned homes, focusing on interiors that reflect past and present stories marked by unique patterns and tones. Shooting in black and white emphasizes composition, mood, and emotional narrative, creating a sense of timelessness.
Abandoned spaces, filled with graffiti and decay, reveal traces of human presence. Lately, I've shifted to photographing amusement parks at night, capturing them with a sense of abandonment through slower shutter speeds that suggest ghostly figures. My goal is to evoke emotional responses—discomfort, nostalgia, or peace—through consistent black-and-white imagery.
