    OPTIMISM. Archive

    The house in motion.

    The history of the house, in five chapters — 2022 to 2026. Rooms, roads, water, light, held permanently in soft black and white, complete and uncropped.

    Archived pieces are not currently available. The Archive is a record, not a store.

    Chapter 01 — 2022
