architecture changes when the people disappear
A path with no travelers
a hall void of occupants
structures resume their life without us time does not freeze without an observer nature runs the course
but what about the spaces left behind the in between the gaps we pass by treading the same ground
spaces become uncanny without the presence of others it is as though the spaces are not meant to be unoccupied the sun does not stop tracing the shadows
there are countless manmade corners overlooked and essentially abadnoned what are these spaces for other than to be ignored
change occurs in these spaces no one has bothered to look these places in time are mundane
but maybe that's where the beauty lies
