SKY WELL — Wells of Memory and Time
Sky Well is an ongoing artistic series that explores architecture and landscape as living reservoirs of memory — spaces where time, power, and human presence accumulate, transform, and continue to resonate beyond their historical function.
The series approaches architectural and urban sites not as static monuments, but as temporal structures shaped by layers of collective experience. Imperial centers, mausoleums, historic cities, vernacular architectures, and contemporary constructed environments are treated as “wells of memory” — places where past and present coexist, and where attention itself becomes a mode of excavation.
Rather than documenting sites, Sky Well operates at the threshold between material space and the intangible layers of memory, history, and imagination that inhabit it. It focuses on liminal conditions — moments where architecture shifts from physical form into lived experience, projection, and resonance.
Through visual fragmentation, altered temporality, and the dissolution of linear perspective, the works invite the viewer into a state of slow observation, allowing hidden layers of presence to emerge. Power is approached not only as political history, but as an imprint left by time, ritual, use, and sustained human concentration.
The series unfolds as a long-term artistic research into how environments shape collective consciousness and how meaning persists within space — not as a fixed narrative, but as a living process of transmission. Expanding across diverse cultural and geographical contexts, Sky Well treats the world itself as an open archive, continuously rewritten through attention and presence.
