Wild West
This body of work explores the American desert as a space of absence, waiting, and quiet tension. Vast landscapes stretch beyond the frame, while old motels, empty roads, and fading architectures appear as silent witnesses of lives that once passed through. There are no people in these images. Human presence is deliberately absent, yet constantly felt — through traces, structures, and atmospheres shaped by time. The desert becomes a mental landscape, a place where solitude, longing, and stillness coexist. I apply a deliberately aged, dusty visual treatment to my photographs. This weathered aesthetic echoes the erosion of both land and memory, blurring the line between past and present. Faded colors, soft contrasts, and textured surfaces reinforce the feeling of suspension, as if these places exist outside of time.
