The “Abandoned” series is set within deserted 19th century factory buildings once used for textile production. There, the artist’s performances awaken the derelict industrial spaces and memorialize their utility, just as they are being reclaimed by nature.

"The Witness extends the thought. Columns march toward a bright vanishing point. The ceiling is an atlas of pipes and flaking panels. Tiles are scattered like old shingles across the floor. In the middle distance a body stands small and steady. The ruin does not overwhelm. It is measured by a gaze that will not look away." - Jorge R. G. Sagastume.
