This drawing is part of the After Presence series, which explores abandoned architectural spaces as sites where memory and human traces continue to resonate. The works depict places once filled with activity: houses, cinemas, factories, schools, or hospitals, that now exist in silence and decay. Rather than presenting abandonment as emptiness, the series considers it a transformed form of presence, where architecture still carries the emotional and physical imprints of those who once inhabited it.
Created with fine liner on recycled paper, the work emphasizes material memory. The reused surface, with its imperfections and previous life, echoes the layered histories embedded within these forgotten spaces.
Through slow, repetitive line work, the drawings reconstruct fragments of these environments, translating absence into a visual language of persistence. The series reflects on time, transformation, and the fragile relationship between human presence and the spaces we leave behind.
