The Side of Summer

2025–

The Side of Summer brings together places shaped by the summer season. Parasols, beach furniture, open windows and temporary structures recur throughout the series. The photographs were made at different times, some in the middle of the season and others after the people had gone. Similar colours and objects make those moments hard to separate.
