THESE WALLS MAY HAVE KEPT THE SECRETS

The dynamic mood that develops within me when I look at buildings that have lost their lives and their interiors fascinates me; those abandoned buildings may have been a residence of some people some time ago, or there may have been people living there before they were abandoned for whatever reasons.
These walls may have kept the secrets of those who lived here still not leaking, and I believe that some people's joys and anxieties can still live inside the building, as can the pages of their own stories and the lifestyles they have inherited; those memories still linger in all the stuff they left behind.
The reason I can record such nostalgia is because of the close relationship and instability I had with my interiors and my homes.
