About

Daydream considers the architecture of longing: the spaces we construct inwardly from fragments of places known, remembered, or imagined. The arch suggests a passage. It is simultaneously an opening and a boundary — a place the mind can cross, even when the body cannot.

Reduced almost entirely to form, texture, and light, the work hovers between architecture and apparition. What remains is not the building itself, but its impression: the shape that a place leaves behind.
