Where I Keep Returning
The series follows a female character and explores her emotional relationship with a place that exists at a distance from her everyday life. This city becomes a recurring destination for her — not as a simple location, but as something closer to an intimate presence she continuously returns to.
Through her encounters with waterfronts, empty urban spaces, and traces of history embedded in the landscape, the work reflects on memory, distance, and the quiet rituals of returning. The place itself feels alive in her perception, shaping her emotions and inner state, while remaining unreachable in a conventional sense.
