MEMORIES OF A CHILDHOOD IN A LANDSCAPE
THAT NO LONGER EXISTS IN THE WAY IT ONCE WAS REMEMBERED
LEAVE ONE WITH EMPTINESS.


A “ROOTLESS” STATE EMBRACES THE IDENTITY.

AN OBSESSION BEGINS TO SURRENDER.

AN IMAGE THAT FRAMES THE LANDSCAPE
BECOMES
THE BACKGROUND OF WAR
YET SO STILL

AND
OF NO LONGER THE IMAGINABLE.
