THREE LOCATIONS, ONE SHARED JOURNEY OF LIGHT, IMAGE, AND PLACE.

Korçë

In Korçë, art returns to beginnings — and from those beginnings, new visions can emerge.

Dhërmi

In this meeting of image and environment, the art does not simply appear in a place, but becomes part of it.

New York

In New York, light is never still. And in that constant motion, new forms of seeing are born.
