The Visit
2013

Photographed in an abandoned house, The Visit is a meditation on memory, collapse, and the ghosts of domestic space.
Within these quiet ruins, a solitary woman returns—perhaps in dream, perhaps in body—
to trace the outlines of a life once lived or imagined.

The house becomes both character and container, echoing with the residue
of care, confinement, violence, and reverie.
Light pours in through broken windows, casting an otherworldly glow
on peeling linoleum and sagging curtains.
The figure crawls, crumbles, stands, and stares—her movements evoking cycles
of endurance, reclamation, and surrender.

The images hover between documentation and performance, fiction and truth; they render the dilapidated with tenderness,
creating a theatre of feminine experience where decay becomes a kind of poetry.

In these spaces where the past lingers stubbornly, The Visit contemplates the boundaries between the seen and unseen,
the interior and the exterior, the intimate and the estranged.
