Every gaze towards a distant horizon reaffirms an interior terrain shaped by projection and desire. Distance is not a fixed geography, but a construct produced through looking. This series situates vision at the threshold of perception and imagination. Sky, land, and living conditions are not documented as external facts; they are reabsorbed into subjective experience. The horizon shifts from a spatial limit to a mental event—emerging in the instant where vision briefly stabilises, yet never resolves. The images resist description of place. Instead, they function as perceptual interventions, tracing the unstable boundary where the visible dissolves into the imagined. What appears to extend outward folds inward, disclosing a space that evades certainty and remains fundamentally unreachable. Suspended between the visible and the unattainable, the work sustains a controlled tension—reflecting the impulse to project meaning beyond experience and to continuously extend the contours of the unknown.
