PROJECT:
Where Time Stands Still aims to document historic structures, their stories, and social impact. There is beauty to decayed sites and my focus is to bring a eulogy for the lost ways of life and capture the visceral experience of entering a parallel universe of silence, rust, and peeling paint.
