“Imagine a world where we suddenly disappear tomorrow.”

This is the opening line of The World Without Us, a book that inspired the TW w/o HM series.

For me, this series explores places that once showed signs of human habitation, but these traces suddenly vanished for various reasons. In many of these locations, nature proves its remarkability, quickly reclaiming spaces once taken by humans. What may take us a decade to rebuild, nature restores in a fraction of that time. To mark our existence, we build monumental structures and imaginary animal sculptures. We create symbols—as our ancestors did with cave paintings of grand hunts.

Through these photographs, I also reflect on other pressing issues: the growing influence of technology, the pollution from wildfires, and the persistent presence of PM2.5. Ultimately, this work is a record of our actions and their impact on the world, a reminder that we must care for this home, as there may be no second chance.
