I visited la Alhambra in Granada to answer a need and to stand before something monumental … turning forty felt as milestone worth remembering.

I was struck by how architecture itself carries the weight of time: shaped by culture, climate, and history, yet standing quietly, holding memory in its silence.

This place, monumental and fragile, felt like a companion in reflection. The worn edges, the cracks where nature slowly returns, mirrored my own awareness of passing years, the layers we accumulate, the traces we leave, the quiet endurance of what matters.

This series is both a record of place and a personal marker in time.
