A building is most itself when no one is in it. The series holds the camera open long enough for presence to leave the frame — until only the structure, and the light moving through it, remain.

Each plate is a single exposure. Nothing is composited. What you see is the time the shutter stayed open.

Concrete tunnel receding to a single point of light, captured over four minutes
