Koma<\/em> capture la transformation poignante d’une petite ville en pleine gentrification, naviguant dans la d\u00e9licate valse entre progr\u00e8s et pr\u00e9servation. \u00c0 travers un regard d’observation, elle refl\u00e8te l’\u00e9volution de l’identit\u00e9 locale \u00e0 mesure que le monde physique \u00e9volue. Tandis que les b\u00e2timents s’\u00e9l\u00e8vent et que les for\u00eats reculent, de nouveaux quartiers se construisent, tandis que d’autres sont oubli\u00e9s. Entre b\u00e9ton et murs, des \u00e9chos de la nature et de la communaut\u00e9 persistent. Cette \u0153uvre est un t\u00e9moignage visuel de la r\u00e9silience et de l’adaptation du monde naturel et des liens humains face \u00e0 des changements in\u00e9vitables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koma captures the poignant transformation of a small town amidst gentrification as it navigates the delicate dance between progress and preservation. Through an observational lens, it reflects on the evolution of local identity as the physical world evolves. As buildings rise and forests recede, new neighbourhoods are made, while others forgotten, amid concrete and walls echoes of nature and community persist. This work is a visual testament to the resilience and adaptation of both the natural world and human connection in the face of inevitable change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
