The project seeks to interrogate the notion of “preservation” through the lens of the private home at the fragile moment preceding its dissolution and abandonment. Through both direct and manipulated photography of objects, furnishings, and traces of lived experience, it renders visible spaces of existence that remain present yet stand on the brink of disappearance. Within the tension between the modern and the intimate-between urban planning and the fissures of time-an interior stratum emerges, where memory, emotion, and the residue of everyday life collide with formal mechanisms of conservation. The project thus raises the question of whether one might preserve not only structures, but also a “spirit of the home” or an “emotional landscape.”

By documenting houses poised on the threshold of transformation, the work constructs a temporary archive of affect, memory, and identity-an intermediary zone between artistic documentation and anthropological inquiry. Preservation is proposed here as an act of listening: to what has been, to what is no longer, and to what may vanish without record. In doing so, the project expands the boundaries of heritage toward the unofficial, the elusive, and the vulnerable, granting resonance and legitimacy to that which resists material fixation yet continues to endure as an echo within space.
