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 exploration of territory, distance, and proximity. The project originates from a formative experience of growing up in the countryside, where moving through the landscape by bicycle gradually defined the limits of one’s world.

Working within a self-imposed radius of thirteen miles around my current home, I photograph what lies along these routes: roads, fields, infrastructure, and subtle traces of human intervention. People are absent, yet their presence remains embedded in the landscape through practices of use, maintenance, and care.

The circular boundary functions as both a geographic and psychological limit—how far one can travel without truly leaving. The images oscillate between openness and restriction, exposure and protection, nature and system. Together, they form a quiet portrait of a territory shaped by repetition and restraint, where personal history surfaces through places that resist clear definition.
