Lingering Between Old and New, 2025

Lingering Somewhere Between Old and New reflects on the reciprocal relationship between people and place. Whether familiar or new, places have the ability to imprint themselves upon us through emotion and memory. At the same time, we project our own feelings and experiences onto them, gradually transforming these places into fragmentary, myth-like versions that only exist in our memory.
