This project documents a city not as it is sold or shown, but as it is felt. In its quieter corners, forgotten textures, and strange afterglows. Shot on slide film and later altered through chemical interactions with materials gathered from the same urban spaces, the work transforms acts of observation into acts of erosion.

The resulting images are layered with contradiction: harsh and soft, mundane and surreal, decaying and luminous. Buildings collapse into colour. Skies stain. Light behaves like liquid.

What emerges is less a representation and more a residue. An echo of place, time, and material reacting to one another. The photographs blur the line between process and subject, asking what remains when memory, landscape, and chemistry intersect.
