This work treats the Colosseum not as a monument to be seen, but as a structure held in collective memory. The image reconstructs the site as it might appear when recalled—fragmented, faded, and layered with traces of those who once stood there. The forms are present, but no longer intact. Memory smooths edges, merges layers, and leaves certain spaces hollow.
Rather than aiming for historical accuracy, the composition allows the architecture to surface through partial clarity. Visitors, walls, and shadows coexist in the same temporal field. The pale atmosphere and softened forms reflect the way shared memory distorts detail while preserving structure. This is a vision of the Colosseum as remembered across time, rather than seen in a single moment.
This work belongs to the Urban Memory Series and holds its place as a collective relic—both personal and civilizational.
