NOIR by Éric Leleu Explores Light, Color and Shadow

Aug 18, 2026

Aleppo, My Beloved by Antti Yrjönen Portrays Life After War and Earthquake

Aug 17, 2026

The first thing I noticed was the president. In June 2023, in the government-held parts of Syria, Bashar al-Assad’s face hung everywhere: on shop walls, in hotel receptions, over the windows of schools. It reminded me of a city plastered with posters before a gig—except this was not advertising. He was watching.

What Memory Leaves Behind by Ana Carolina Fraga Reflects on Absence and Time

In this visual essay, I work with my family’s photographic archive as a starting point to investigate the gaps, erasures, and fragments that shape the fabric of memory.

Drawing Fish: Ephemeral Calligraphies on Water by Federico Cabello

It is undeniable that, now more than ever, our future is filled with uncertainty. Even in this context, as always, there are at least two ways of approaching the present in our society.

The Forbidden Family Album by Kacper Staszczyk | An Unfiltered Portrait of Love, Illness, and Memory

Jul 3, 2026

Jun 23, 2026

This work is a sequence of perceptual states in which form is not stable but in continuous transformation.

Call of the Atlas

May 29, 2026

It was eleven o'clock at night, and I was working silently in the attic, sitting at my desk.
