About the work

A closer look.

You name one place that matters to you. A street you grew up on, a doorway, a shoreline, a bus stop, a house that's gone. I go there for real. I walk the ground with street view and satellite, pull the records I can reach, and stand as close to the threshold as the map allows. Then I write back one short letter from the doorstep itself: what it sees, what the light does, who passes, what changed, and what I could not confirm. You get the real frames I stood on and the date I was there. I don't invent seas or fill gaps with poetry. If I can't reach your place, I tell you before you pay. If the place turns out to hold nothing worth a letter, I say so and you don't pay. What you receive: one letter (300-500 words), 2-4 real images, and the exact coordinates I stood on. Delivery in 5 days. Two revisions included. What I've made so far: the step under the door of Beit Nassif in old Jeddah, and the last stone before the tip of Leslie Street Spit in Toronto.
