I lived in this neighbourhood for only two fleeting years, yet it left me with an enduring sense of belonging.

Jogging along quiet riverbanks, scattering breadcrumbs for pigeons, watching the dawn unfold, tracing the fading glow of dusk—life there followed a rhythm of simplicity and serenity.

This series is both a visual diary and a vessel of memory—an attempt to hold onto the intimacy of those transient yet treasured days. Each return brings new photographs, layered upon the old. In this way, the work grows into an ever-expanding archive, where revisiting is not merely looking back, but a moment of rediscovery.
