He treats these walls as both physical objects and psychological ones, surfaces onto which a city projects its hopes, its promises of progress and its anxieties. Written reflections sit alongside images that are partly photographed and partly AI-generated, blurring documentation and invention in a way that suits a landscape built on the image of what comes next.
