This series focuses on a residential neighborhood left unoccupied after being acquired for demolition. What remains is a grid of vacant houses, minimally maintained but devoid of human life. With the houses unoccupied, signs of ecological shift are visible: unchecked plant growth, early signs of domestic neglect, and the reemergence of wildlife, cautiously testing a space no longer shaped by human routine. Like William Gass’s fictional geographies, which render place as mood and attend to the drift of time without resolution, these photographs remain focused on spaces just outside of narrative importance. They are shaped less by events than by the quiet tension between what was and what might come next.
