(Nighttime thoughts in the fog, stopped at the highway rest stop)

A fragment of everyday life outside the city, a nighttime parking lot at a highway rest stop, a non-place transformed into a stage for existential questions, a visual meditation on loneliness, memory, perception, transitoriness. Highway rest stops are anonymous, transient spaces where lives intersect without leaving a trace. The black canvas emerges, reminding us that all human perception is incomplete. The fog that blurs the contours becomes a metaphor for the loss of identity typical of contemporary society, while the orange lights, unable to pierce the veil of fog, reflect the failure of technology to dominate nature or illuminate the dark corners of the soul.
