The work aims to convey the feeling of a city held in a half-frozen state, constantly under threat. Moving through it felt like touching a stitched, invisible scar — a sensation close to what Mark Fisher describes as the eerie: the moment when “there is something present where there should be nothing, or nothing where there should be something.” With each passing day, the sense of absence grew more acute: normality had withdrawn, yet its imprint persisted.
