We are always rushing toward an ideal realm destined to vanish—like a postman endlessly delivering letters without ever having the chance to open them, never glimpsing the perfect world described inside. This series captures landscapes existing at a distance, forever unreachable: a fusion of reality’s desolation and imagined perfection. The abandoned objects serve as clues, guiding the gaze toward an elusive vanishing point. Viewers observe these scenes as if contemplating an unopened letter, seeking through images a world they long for but can never truly reach.
