Escapism is at the heart of my work. I explore the architecture of abandoned places and find solitude in such oases.

Ruins. Abandoned places. Forgotten grandeur. Let me take you on a journey through a world of dystopian dreamscapes.
Venturing between nowhere & never — this is my manifest of the momentariness of things. 

About my work

In a world that’s too chaotic and fast-paced I try to find solitude and peacefulness. Forgotten places and remote locations prove to be the perfect oasis for such reflection.

I’m a vagabond for lost beauty, a chronicler of forgotten magnificence.
