Absence series focuses on the objects and traces left behind from landscapes, surfaces, and isolated spaces. The photographs are completely detached from their own realities and contexts, used to create a new narrative. At the center of this newly formed narrative is the concept of absence which points to what is not present in the photographs. The series is situated in the space between a past that is hard to remember and an uncertain future that cannot be fully imagined. The idea of "eu-topia", which points to a happy place, and "u-topia", which refers to a place that does not exist, merge within the present. In this way, the uncertainty of what is coming and the ghosts of what has been forgotten propose the idea of an infinite and expanding present—a present where memory is weak, and dreaming is pointless. 

But on the other hand as Ernst Bloch stated "Utopian consciousness wants to look far into the distance, but ultimately only in order to penetrate the darkness so near it of the just lived moment, in which everything that is both drives and is hidden from itself. In other words: we need the most powerful telescope, that of polished utopian consciousness, in order to penetrate precisely the nearest nearness. Namely, the most immediate immediacy, in which the core of self-location and being-here still lies, in which at the same time the whole knot of the world-secret is to be found". The main question of this project was "Can I replace this telescope with a camera which is focused on the nearest nearness rather than far into distance?".
