These photographs were taken during an artist residency in Spain; the digital editing process incorporates my gold pigment drawing into the photographic documentation. The depicted locations are central to my project research and serve as the settings for an interdisciplinary work combining performance and installation, the documentation of which is still in progress — these images offer an early glimpse into this ongoing process.

This body of work asks how cultural monuments continue to speak in an age increasingly defined by instability. Rather than presenting architecture as an immutable symbol of historical achievement, it understands the built environment as an evolving organism whose deterioration reveals the limits of human control while simultaneously generating new forms of beauty, meaning, and political reflection. In this sense, corrosion is not the end of architecture but the beginning of another narrative—one in which artistic practice becomes an act of witnessing, translation, and renewed cultural imagination.
