Statement
"I travelled through the remote rural interior of Buenos Aires Province in search of abandoned houses, weathered by the passage of time. Along the way, conversations with local residents revealed stories that deepened my interest. Drawn by the fear of standing alone before them, I began to seek them out obsessively. Having lost their original purpose, I could still feel them pulsing: engulfed, decaying, their ruins held together by the foundations of their past — loves and tragedies — like restless souls."
