“What we left behind” is a photo project that explores the emotional weight of time, memory, and departure. The photographs portray a quiet, almost lifeless town—unchanged, familiar, yet distant. Alongside the images, the book includes short texts from people who left their hometowns, sharing doubts, hopes, and reflections on what they feel they left behind. This work reflects on the invisible thread that connects us to where we come from—and what remains after we’ve gone.
