This project is based on a legend of a town built over another in Segovia. The legend tells of a curse that led to the downfall of Moclín, replaced by Pinarnegrillo. This project explores how myths and maps shape identity and belonging, creating a photographic map of Spain's forgotten, depopulated areas. We can see here abandonment and the impact of urbanization and neglect by the government.

Traces of Black communal life can be encountered and re-encountered in the rural south of the United States in multiple forms. Deliberate systemic and communal erasure of Black history as part of slavery and Jim Crow laws means the erasure of history of the land for both the living and the dead. The landscapes and milestones that scaffolded Black community life have been destroyed, abandoned, stolen, desecrated, repurposed, absorbed. In these photos, the element of that community life and landscape highlighted involves destroyed graveyards. Black cemeteries have been farmed over, with the gravestones hauled to the edges of the fields where they eventually are broken down. As the gravestones are broken down, the memory of communities are lost. Part of my work is to find these traces and record them for communities that are no longer present to claim a place in the history of the land.

Every place has a story to tell, whether it's an overlooked alleyway or a lively, bustling market. Capturing everyday life, subtle moments, and unique characters becomes a way to uncover beauty in the most ordinary of things. It's about finding meaning in what is often forgotten by telling its story. Taking an opportunity to capture the moments of life that are easy to overlook or forget.

This work explores memory and human connection, particularly through my father’s absence. Using archival photos, personal writings, and objects like his clocks, I reflect on our shared history. Each year, gathering apples from the garden serves as a poignant reminder of him. The central video, accompanied by photos, delves into grief and healing, transforming personal traces into powerful symbols of memory, loss, and the environment we inhabit.

This photograph captures the silent beauty of decay, where ruins blend into the vastness of the landscape. It explores themes of transience and memory, questioning how we perceive and preserve the traces of the past. The minimal composition, shot in black and white, emphasizes the contrast between permanence and fragility, inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay of time, history, and the natural world

Former Soviet radio telescope RT-32, discovered during a Baltic road trip in an abandoned restricted military area, deep in the forests of Latvia. Originally built for espionage during the Cold War, it's used for scientific purposes nowadays (after a later extensive restoration) and is considered the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The entire complex also included a ghost village for around 2000 people.

This photograph captures the intricate patterns of microbial mats near Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring, where thermophilic bacteria thrive in mineral-rich waters. The vibrant, branching designs resemble vast natural landscapes when viewed from a certain perspective, blurring the line between the microscopic and the monumental. It symbolizes resilience and adaptation, offering a reflection on how shifting perspectives reveal the interconnected beauty of life and the passage of time.

Mount Seregay in southern Russia has disappeared from cartography. Ethnic groups with a religious attitude to nature, creators of sacred spaces and objects, lived here. New artifacts have been discovered on the land of dolmen builders: people continue to build variations of paleodolmens and connect history with modernity in search of answers to the mysteries of the world. Our reconstruction returns to the poetic reading of artifacts.

Life reveals its essence in its fractures. Every imperfection is a story, every mark a fragment of truth, for only what has been broken can unveil the depth of existence.

Petersburg, Virginia, United States. During the American Civil War, Petersburg's rail station was one of the biggest in the country. This portion of it was a storage place for supplies, and eventually, prisoners of war. The station survived the war but fell into disuse during the latter half of the 1900’s. In 1993, a tornado destroyed much of the rail station, leaving behind only remnants of what once was.

Psychogeography, art, nature, and human imagination. Ash Pure’s Semiosis praxis distills meaning into symbols, forming Totem sets that influence individual, societal, and global structures. Information moves energy. Energy moves matter. As Above, So Below. This project is a catalyst—a return, not in a cycle but a spiral to the ancient truth: we are nature. But if we think we know it, how do we feel it?.

One of my favorite places in the Leningrad region is Komarovsky shore. Every time I've been there, I wished I could stay longer. "It wouldn't be bad to live here, right by the shore," I thought. One day, I came to take photos and saw I wasn't the only one who had that thought.

What is the nature of memory? Why do we keep some things and let go of others? In the forgotten details of the ground, amidst fallen leaves that serve as a carpet to the nature of memory, I find a stage for unexpected narratives. In ”Leaves of Memory”, I immerse myself in the textures of the earth and the traces of time.

In China, the character "Fu(福)" is the skin of culture and memory that peels off, regenerates, and overlaps every year. I recorded the "Fu(福)" on the door of warehouse in my hometown (where my family has been lived since 1987), imagining the countless possibilities of families.
