Spanish Steps

Memory does not always preserve places separately. At times, different locations overlap, not by cancelling one another, but by merging into a new and unstable image.

In this work, the Spanish Steps and residential streets begin to occupy the same remembered space. Architectural fragments, perspectives, and passages remain recognizable, yet their boundaries dissolve as one place enters another. What survives is neither location exactly as it once appeared, but a composite formed through their coexistence.

This fusion suggests that memory is not only a process of fading or loss. It can also combine experiences that were originally separate, allowing them to remain present simultaneously. The resulting space is impossible in physical reality, but coherent within memory, where distance and sequence no longer need to remain fixed.

Separate places persist, overlap, and gradually become inseparable, producing a remembered city that belongs to neither place alone, and yet contains traces of both.
