“The City Gone Missing”

A city is more than its architecture—it is the people who move through it, shape it, and give it life. But what happens when they disappear? In The City Gone Missing, I explore the absence of people—their departure, their erasure, the voids they leave behind. Through video art and paintings, I trace the lingering presence of those who are no longer here, whether lost to migration, displacement, or forces unseen.

This work is not only about loss but also about memory and resilience. Shadows remain where bodies once stood, sounds persist in the streets, and movements of the past resonate in the present. How do we remember those who are gone? How do we carry the weight of the missing? By layering images, movement, and light, I seek to visualize both what is present and absent.

The missing leave scars beneath the surface. The City Gone Missing is an act of witnessing, a reflection on those who have been displaced, forgotten, or erased. In their absence, we search for traces, for proof that they were here, and for the stories they left behind.
