This work does not move toward conclusions. It lingers with places, people, gestures, and passing moments, allowing them to reveal themselves without asking them to become symbols or explanations. Some parts speak through images, others through words. Neither is complete on its own. Together, they move toward what neither can fully hold.

The pages that follow are not meant to be hurried through. They are invitations to look a little longer, to remain with what is already here before familiarity quietly covers it again.
