13 miles (2025 - ongoing)

Past the last houses, the world grew wide.
Where the known faded, everything began to breathe.
Still moving, along silent traces.

13 miles is a photographic project about territory, distance, and proximity. It originates from my teenage years, when growing up in the countryside meant that the world slowly expanded—further and further, without a clear destination. It is not the memory itself that is central, but the feeling that attaches itself to a place and lingers there.

Within a self-imposed radius of thirteen miles (21 km) around my current place of residence, I photograph what I find along these routes. Roads, fields, and infrastructure appear alongside signs of use and presence, sometimes at arm's length. What is captured is not so much an action, but what remains: traces, structures, and situations.

The circle acts as a boundary and a frame—how far I can go without actually leaving. The images move between openness and limitation, proximity and distance. Together, they form a modest exploration of an area shaped by repetition and use, in which personal history permeates seemingly neutral places.
