Postcards have long served as a fundamental tool for communication, predating the internet. By receiving a postcard, we construct images and memories of distant lands, even those we have never personally visited.
In this project, I acquire vintage postcards—once sent by someone long ago—from flea markets and travel to the exact locations depicted in them. By capturing the contemporary landscape through my own lens and overlaying it with the original imagery, I reconstruct a new layer of memory.
When the distant memories of a stranger intersect with the artist’s current gaze, the postcard transcends its role as a mere record, evolving into a living, reconstructed narrative.
