Echoes of the Unseen (2025)

In Echoes of the Unseen (2025) Vogelsang, Berlin. A triptich of abandoned interiors is presented as if the rooms themselves were holding their breath. Surfaces peel, stairs collapse into shadow, and stray light filters through dusty windows, revealing just enough to suggest what once was. There are no figures present, yet the spaces feel inhabited — shaped by absence rather than by the people who once moved through them.
The photographs explore how silence gathers in places left behind, and how time, decay, and memory intertwine to form their own quiet narrative.

The muted tones and soft, directional light evoke the atmosphere of a staged set, but the stillness belongs entirely to the building. Each room carries a tension that is private, paused, and unresolved — a moment suspended between erosion and endurance.
