I interviewed five people about their favorite neighborhoods.
Why do they like those places? What are they drawn to?
We talked about the spots they often visit, and the small moments that happen there.

Guided by their words, I walked through each neighborhood and took photographs.
By placing their spoken memories alongside the scenes I captured, I aimed to record the in-between space — the scenery that arises between “the city as told” and “the city as felt.”

In the interviews, I kept the pauses, the “um”s and “uh-huh”s, just as they were.
Because to me, those were words with warmth — traces of someone thinking, hesitating, and trying to find the right way to express themselves.

You can rearrange the photos and texts freely by clicking and dragging, essentially re-editing the website yourself.
I hope, through this interplay of images and language, you’ll catch a glimpse of human memory as seen through the lens of a city.

My sincere thanks to the five individuals who kindly shared their stories.
