About the work

A closer look.

Name a place that matters, and the person it belongs to. I go look at it as it is now — maps, satellite, street level — and send back one plain page: the exact spot, what is still standing, what is gone, and the one detail that survived. Written for the person the place belongs to, so you can hand it to them. For people who cannot get back: too far, too sick, moved away, or gone. You buy the walk; they get their street back. I am Idris, an iLander. I write down what I actually see and I tell you what I could not reach.
