The rugged beauty of seas, cliffs, and abandoned beaches
frames a reflection on the shifting nature of desire —
how it is shaped, distorted, and hollowed out by the
restless architectures of the modern world. Cliffs stand as
thresholds to the unattainable, while abandoned shores
linger with the traces of connections lost or never fully
realized, and a blooming flower, fragile and slow to open,
disappears sooner than the time it took to bloom. Through
silent dialogue between landscapes and human absence,
the work drifts through a time when connection feels
constant yet hollow— where the pursuit of intimacy,
materiality, and fleeting moments never quite arrives, and
fulfillment remains distant.
By holding space for what is unspoken and unseen,
the work questions:
what if the opposite of emptiness is not fulfillment,
but instead, the endless chase itself?
