Slow down. See. In these places, time has stood still.
These are often places we pass by in our daily lives without even noticing. Places eroded by the sun, the wind, and the passage of time, yet they still remain.
They have been there for generations—they’ve watched you grow up—and if you stop to look at them for just a second, they’ll strike a chord, pulling you out of the endless, mindless scrolling that defines modern life.
There is nothing better than places like these to help you slow down, reflect and reconnect with your roots.2026 ARTWORKS
We were exploring the fields and had gone hours without eating when we found it.
An old shelter—once used by those who irrigated the fields, both for protection and for keeping watch—appeared atop a hill.
It was an octagonal structure, standing in the middle of nowhere.
Each wall faces a cardinal direction, with a small window set in its center.
How long has it been there? No one knows.
I was struck by the magic way light fell upon each of the rock walls. I spent time at the shelter, observing it at different hours of the day and throughout the various seasons of the year.
This resulted in three paintings—all depicting the same location, yet each conveying a distinct atmosphere and feelings: the warmth of an autumn sunset, the cold light of a winter midday, and a sunny yet crisp spring afternoon. Same place, so different moods
