Brussels > Paris > Station 

2024

Three snow globes encapsulate iconic yet often overlooked buildings from the Linha de Sintra, a train line connecting Lisbon to the romantic town of Sintra. This route cuts through 
the densely populated suburbs of Lisbon, where space is limited, the architecture is utilitarian, and the social fabric is complex. The titles, named after European cities, echo the neighborhoods of Cacém with the same names. Growing up in this environment, I created my personal "Citizen Kane" memory capsule, transforming structures often dismissed as unappealing into objects of contemplation, reframing the seemingly ‘low’ material culture  into something worthy of reflection and remembrance.
