This series traces memory through fragile surfaces of handmade alfalfa paper, sourced from the city itself. Using laser engraving as both mark and scar, architectural fragments and intimate sites are etched into layered grounds. The works reflect on transformation, displacement, and the shifting landscapes of a place once called home, asking how memory inscribes itself onto material, and whether the act of surface-making can preserve what is no longer present.
