Between 2002 and 2006, I spent significant time and lived in the United States, particularly in Chicago. The resulting project became a reflection on and response to American architecture and spatial organization — a study of how environments are shaped, inhabited, and experienced. It examines spaces designed predominantly for cars rather than people, and how this influences patterns of interaction and disconnection. There is a particular focus on the presence of human-made structures in the landscape — often feeling abandoned or suspended in time — and the complex, sometimes uneasy relationship between these built environments and the surrounding nature. The work is both observation and commentary, exploring how people move through, adapt to, and leave traces in spaces that may never have been meant for lingering.
