Project Plan
"Dislocated Presences - The Hidden City" continues my exploration of visibility, absence, and perception within public spaces. At AIR 3331, I will create new photographic work while using the residency as a space for reflection, research, and inspiration. Through dialogue with local artists and the surrounding community, I aim to deepen my understanding of what is seen and what remains hidden in the urban landscape.
