Between 2015 and 2021, my lens wandered through the forgotten corridors of Liwa’s abandoned girls’ school, a building silenced since 2003, its walls carrying the breath of history and neglect. Here, the architecture stood in quiet decay, its classrooms emptied of voices, yet never truly deserted. In my work, the space was never vacant; it was inhabited by fairies, delicate, unseen beings who lingered in the broken windows, the peeling paint, and the dust-filled air.
This series is not just a record of abandonment but a dialogue between memory and imagination, where ruins become stages for unseen guardians of the past. The school no longer stands, demolished to give way to the monumental Liwa Sign, but in these photographs, the fairies remain, eternal witnesses of what once was.
