This series reflects on the idea of future heritage—how we carry architecture forward not only through restoration, but through everyday presence. In preserved factories, quiet ateliers, and intimate interiors, the images trace a continuum between past and present. Each frame captures a moment where human gestures meet aged surfaces: a hand reaching to photograph, a child walking into a repurposed industrial site, a warm lamp illuminating a forgotten studio corner. Patina, reflection, and soft light reveal how built environments shift roles over time—becoming archives, thresholds, and places of belonging.
